An aircraft operational state monitoring system is provided that includes a module for acquiring a logic state of a plurality of components of the aircraft, the components belonging to airplane systems. The aircraft operational state monitoring system includes a module for determining the operability status of a plurality of macroscopic functions of the aircraft, each macroscopic function being defined independently of the components and airplane systems necessary for the performance of the macroscopic function, the operability status being determined based on logic states of the plurality of components between an operational status and at least one nonoperational status. The aircraft operational state monitoring system includes a display and at least one graphic display management assembly on the display, configured for displaying, on the display, summary indicators of the operability status of the macroscopic functions of the aircraft.
