An aircraft is equipped with a system of the FM-CW type including an on-board radio altimeter which cooperates with a transponder/beacon located at A. The radio altimeter is adapted for the measurement, alternately with the measurement of the altitude H, of the distance D in relation to point A, and of the angle beta in relation to a horizontal axis (46) linked to the transponder. The radio altimeter includes two aerials and a supplementary processing chain for the measurement of angle beta . The transponder is equipped with a base with two receiving/transmitting aerials (25, 27), switched alternately to sequentially operated circuitry in the transponder. Furthermore, the exact position of the aircraft within the vicinity of point A is determined by at least two measurements of distance D and of the angle beta in relation to the aerial base of the transponder. |
