ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a status display system for aircraft which system receives signals from sensors/transducers monitoring a plurality of parameters and subsystems of the aircraft. The system then displays text identifying faulty ones of the parameters or subsystems in a prioritized sequence. With the system of the invention, only a single indicator is needed to identify a plurality of faults as compared to available systems wherein each parameter and subsystem is monitored by a separate device including a separate display. Thus, the present invention is an improvement over the prior art in that: (1) it requires less cockpit space for displaying faults, and; it presents faults in order of priority so that the pilot does not have to make decisions about the most important fault to attend to when, as in the prior art systems, faced with a plurality of fault indications on a plurality of fault indicators.
