Zusammenfassung:A system and associated method for determining the ground contact status of an air vehicle. The system includes an altitude measurement device; at least one wheel speed sensor; at least one weight-on-wheel sensor; at least one squat switch and a processor for processing useful data from the altitude measurement device, the at least one wheel speed sensor, the at least one weight-on-wheel sensor and the at least one squat switch to manage the status of whether the air vehicle is in contact with the ground based on a ratio of the number of sensors providing useful data to the number of sensors available.
