The invention discloses a method and a system for controlling the flight of an aircraft subjected to at least two required time of arrival constraints. It comprises receiving at least two required time of arrivals (RTA n ), each required time of arrival (RTA n ) at a corresponding target waypoint (WPT n ) wherein at least one target waypoint is located in a descent phase of the flight; determining a set of cruise/descent speed pairs for each one of the RTA wherein each pair satisfies the corresponding RTA n at the corresponding WPT n , the cruise speed and descent speed of each pair being calculated independently from each other; selecting a single cruise/descent speed pair existing in each one of the sets of cruise/descent speed pairs; and determining a single aircraft trajectory that satisfies the selected cruise/descent speed pair. |
