Abstract
An acquisition and analysis device to be integrated in a pre-existing aircraft that includes original systems comprising pilot controls and also an autopilot system includes acquisition means arranged to acquire parameters produced by the original systems, and analysis means arranged on the basis of the parameters, to evaluate whether the pre-existing aircraft is normal or abnormal, and to evaluate the current stage of flight of the pre-existing aircraft, on the basis of the state of the pre-existing aircraft and of the current stage of flight of the pre-existing aircraft, to define a piloting setpoint selected from piloting setpoints comprising at least a manual piloting setpoint produced by a pilot actuating pilot controls, an autopilot setpoint produced by the autopilot system, and an alternative piloting setpoint, and to cause the selected piloting setpoint to be transmitted to the original systems of the pre-existing aircraft.
