A method of detecting the misalignment of a first point (1) in space is disclosed. The method includes a trajectory of an aircraft flight plan, wherein the flight plan has two points (2, 3) in succession and preceding the first point (1) and two points (4, 5) in succession and subsequent to the first point (1), A first acute angle (&thetas;1) is calculated which is formed by a first segment (LEG-1) joining the points (2, 3) and a second segment joining the third (3) and the fourth (4) points. A second acute angle (&thetas;2) is calculated which is formed by the second segment and a third segment (LEG-4) joining the fourth (4) and the fifth (5) points. A polygon is calculated which is dependent on a first distance (DH) defined between the fourth point (4) and the straight line including the first segment (LEG-1) and on a second distance (DD) defined between the projection (4′) of the fourth point (4) on the straight line comprising the first segment (LEG-1) and the third point (3). |
