Abstract
A center to assist flight management of a plurality of an entity's aircraft comprising a control unit and at least two stations and communication equipment configured to receive data signals and to transmit/receive audio signals to/from each aircraft. The control unit comprises a man-machine interface connected to a central unit, the central unit being connected to a computation unit of each station and to the communication equipment to receive data signals and to transmit/receive audio signals to/from the equipment. Each station comprises, connected to the computation unit, a screen to display the data in the data signals sent by each aircraft and an audio device for the operator to exchange audio signals with the pilots. The central unit is configured to selectively activate/deactivate, as a function of the interactions of an operator with the interface, the exchanges of audio signals with the central unit of each station.
