ABSTRACT:
A warning system provides a warning to the pilot of an aircraft during a take-off mode of flight of a relatively dangerous flight condition, such as improper configuration of the flaps during a take-off mode of flight prior to the aircraft becoming airborne. In order to avoid nuisance warnings, the warning system is disabled once the aircraft becomes airborne. The warning system monitors the flap position of the aircraft as well as the airspeed and provides a warning when the flaps are improperly configured during a take-off mode of flight. Different aural warnings are provided as a function of the airspeed of the aircraft.
