COMBINED AUTOMATIC DEPENDENT SURVEILLANCE-BROADCAST AND CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTING DEVICE

Abstract:

An in-flight safety enhancing system including: a combined automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) and carbon monoxide (CO) detecting device configured to receive an ADS-B transmission and obtain a CO reading; and a flight application executing on an aircraft crew computing device separate from the combined ADS-B and CO detecting device, and configured to: receive the ADS-B transmission and the CO reading; augment the flight application with information extracted from the ADS-B transmission; and provide a CO status notification when the CO reading exceeds a CO threshold value.
