Abstract

AN AIRCRAFT AUTOPILOT SYSTEM AND METHOD, AND AN AIRCRAFT The present invention relates to an autopilot system () comprising an onboard unit (25) . The onboard unit 5 (25) has a plurality of sets of sensors (40) that are redundant and mutually independent, together with a plurality of calculation channels (50), each calculation channel (50) being connected to the sensors of one of said sets of sensors (40) and receiving data coming from said 10 sensors. A supervisor (60) is connected to the sensors of a said set of sensors (40), the supervisor (60) having the function of coupling at most one of said calculation channels (50) to the control members (30), said supervisor (60) having the function of decoupling the coupled channel 15 from the control members in the event that the current behavior of the aircraft (1) departs from predetermined predicted behavior.
