A guiding unit and a computation unit, the computation unit comprising elements for saturating, if necessary, a usual optimized slope for the landing, following a comparison with a slope computed on the basis of a performance criterion relative to a deceleration capability of the aircraft.

Method and device for optimizing the landing of an aircraft on a runway

This relates to a method and device for constructing a vertical profile for an aircraft descent and/or approach. The construction device comprises a data-capture unit configured to provide, for at least one of a plurality of parameters, a value relating to a user strategy. A construction unit is configured to automatically construct a vertical profile for an aircraft descent and/or approach, using the value thus provided.

Method and device for constructing a vertical profile for a descent and/or an approach of an aircraft

A method and device for automatically determining an optimized approach and/or descent profile for an aircraft are provided. The device comprises means for optimizing an approach and/or descent profile of an aircraft avoiding long and steep geometric segments, the device to this end inserting an idle segment, if it satisfies the restrictions, in the profile relating to the descent phase and/or to the approach phase, wherein said idle segment can be followed by a geometric segment.

Method and device for automatically determining an optimized approach and/or descent profile

Method and device for automatically determining an optimized approach profile for an aircraft. The device provides for a flexible configuration change speed which is not limited to the standard single predetermined configuration change speed in order to prevent segments which are not authorized, in particular segments which are too steep, the following configuration (Ci+1) being able to be maintained during a configuration change in an upstream direction until the corresponding speed profile reaches a maximum speed.
