METHOD FOR MANAGING A VERTICAL FLIGHT PLAN

摘要

The present invention concerns a method for managing a vertical flight plan comprising . a first step (21) of breaking down an initial flight plan into a series of contiguous segments (22), each segment comprising a change in altitude and/or speed; . a second step of calculating a lateral trajectory (24) of the flight plan based on the contiguous segments; . a third step of calculating a vertical profile and a speed profile (28) based on the calculated lateral trajectory; . a forth step of determining an active segment (201) during the flight of the aircraft, by longitudinal distance sequencing (200) of the contiguous segments. The present invention is in particular suited to integrating tactical flight segments into a flight plan.
