Abstract

A method for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency is disclosed. The method includes determining a risk level for an aircraft emergency by evaluating a plurality of flight parameters and/or aircraft parameters using a predefined logic. For each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures a threshold is defined and each emergency measure of the plurality of emergency measures is only triggered if the determined risk level exceeds the threshold defined for the emergency measure. Further, a system for use onboard an aircraft for triggering a plurality of emergency measures associated with an aircraft emergency and an aircraft comprising such a system are disclosed.
