ABSTRACT:
A flight control system for preventing an aircraft colliding with designated man-made structures in which the geographical position of the aircraft is determined and then compared with predetermined geographical boundaries that represent excluded zones; these zones being defined around the man-made structures; where the system, as appropriate, overrides a normal flight control system (such as a fly-by-wire flight system) to alter the course of the aircraft to avoid all excluded zones, irrespective of any pilot commands.
