Method and device for aiding the piloting of an aircraft during an intermediate approach phase of a descent.

摘要

The method involves receiving values of parameters related to an aircraft (A) and flight of the aircraft. A vertical profile (PV) is determined for an intermediate approach phase (PHi) based on the values and performances of the aircraft, where the profile comprises a non linear deceleration segment (SD) with adaptive slope and allows the aircraft to hold a constant deceleration rate during the intermediate approach phase. The vertical profile is used to aid the piloting process of the aircraft upon the intermediate approach phase. An independent claim is also included for a device for providing assistance in piloting an aircraft upon an intermediate approach phase during descent of the aircraft.
