A new electronic flight guarding system for light- and sport-aircraft

The Electronic Flight Guarding System (FGS) is a completely new system that implements electronic circuit breakers, switches and motor drivers to distribute the whole electric power to all electric loads in light and sport-aircraft. The circuit breaker function is done in hardware to avoid hazardous situations in case of a software failure. The current and other analogue and digital signals are monitored, so that the system provides detailed information about the whole electric system. The FGS is able to identify problems, faults and/or critical system failures and can issue a warning to the pilot. This will ensure that only important information is displayed and that the electronic flight guarding system will not overwhelm the pilot with information.
