Method and device for revising a low-altitude flight phase of a flight path of an aircraft

摘要

A device for revising a low-altitude flight phase of a flight path of an aircraft includes an input unit configured to allow an operator to input parameters to define an intermediate flight section (Si) which has to be inserted into a low-altitude flight phase, and a processing unit configured to calculate a profile relating to the intermediate flight section (Si) using input parameters, and to automatically insert this profile into the flight phase between a first upstream part (P1) and a second downstream part (P2) so as to establish a revised flight phase (PR).

1. A method for revising a low-altitude flight phase of a flight path of an aircraft, said low-altitude flight phase (P0) comprising at least one flight section (S1, S2, S3), said low-altitude flight phase (P0) being defined from first parameters comprising phase parameters, including the name and altitude of an entry waypoint (A) and the name and altitude of an exit way point (G), and section parameters, wherein said method comprises:
inputting second parameters to define an intermediate flight section (Si), said intermediate flight section (Si) having to be inserted into said flight phase, said second parameters comprising the name and the altitude of an upstream way point (C), the name and the altitude of a downstream waypoint (D), an altitude and a speed; distributing said first and second parameters so as to allocate them to a first upstream part (P1) of the flight phase, to a second downstream part (P2) of the flight phase and to the intermediate flight section (Si), such that: said first parameters, except for the name and the altitude of an exit waypoint, which parameters are substituted with the name and altitude of said upstream waypoint (C) as input in the inputting step, are allocated to said first upstream part (P1); said first parameters, except for the name and the altitude of an entry waypoint, which parameters are substituted with the name and altitude of said downstream waypoint (D) as input in the inputting step are allocated to said second downstream part (P2); and the altitude and the speed as input in the inputting step are allocated to said intermediate flight section (Si); calculating a profile relating to said intermediate flight section (Si) using said input altitude and speed and automatically inserting the profile into the flight phase between said first upstream part (P1) and said second downstream part (P2) so as to establish a revised flight phase (PR) comprising, successively in the direction (E) of flight of the aircraft, said first upstream part (P1), said intermediate section (Si) and said second downstream part (P2); and transmitting said revised flight phase (PR) to a user device.
