Abstract
A number of different combinations of "true/false" conclusions of the air/ground condition of an aircraft are analyzed and compared to automatically provide a signal to a flight control system of the aircraft to indicate whether the aircraft is in the air or on the ground, particularly during transition from air to ground or from ground to air.
