For monitoring flight safety of aircraft, a monitoring device accommodated in a pod is provided. The monitoring device has a monitoring unit to be attached to an aircraft. Sensors for measuring aircraft data independently of the sensors of the aircraft itself are provided in the monitoring unit. There is a device for automatically monitoring the operation of the technical equipment of the monitoring unit. In addition, the monitoring unit contains a system for automatically monitoring the pilot's reactions on the basis of aircraft data provided by the independent sensors. Furthermore, the monitoring unit contains a device which responds to deviations of the aircraft from the range of safe flight states. This device triggers an alarm. There is a device responding to the aircraft inadmissibly approaching ground and a collision warning device, which responds to the risk of collision with other aircraft. Also these devices trigger an alarm in the case of danger.
