The disclosure relates to a method of controlling a flight of an aircraft subjected to a single required time of arrival constraint at a target waypoint ahead and also subjected to an additional flight criterion. The control of the flight is carried out by adapting the flight speed of the aircraft to a Mach speed and descent speed combination where the Mach speed and the descent speed are calculated independently from each other. It also relates to an aircraft navigation system for implementing the method. The method of controlling the flight of the aircraft is carried out during the cruise phase of the flight while the target waypoint lies in the descent phase of the flight. |
