Method and control device for detecting and/or plausibilizing an airborne situation of a vehicle

What is proposed is a method (100) for detecting an airborne situation of a vehicle (200), which comprises a step of receiving (110) an acceleration signal (411) representing a substantially vertical acceleration of the vehicle (200) and a step of checking (120) whether the acceleration signal (411) exceeds a predetermined acceleration threshold value (412) as well as of detecting the airborne situation of the vehicle (200) when the acceleration signal (411) exceeds the predetermined acceleration threshold value (412).
