A device aiding the flight management of an aircraft during a phase of landing on an airport includes means for automatically determining an adaptive aiming point that is shifted along the runway in the downstream direction and which can be used by different usual landing aid means of the aircraft.

Method and device for aiding the flight management of an aircraft during a landing phase

A target vertical speed, to be applied to the aircraft upon the initiation of the aircraft's flaring phase, is defined in relation to the ground. An optimized ground slope associated with an approach path to be tracked during the landing, is then determined as a function of the determined target vertical speed and of at least one outside parameter. This optimized ground slope is at least equal to a predefined ground slope. Upon interception by the aircraft with the approach path, the aircraft is guided to track the determined optimized ground slope associated with the approach path and reach the target vertical speed upon initiation of the flaring phase.

Method for optimizing aircraft landing on a runway

According to the invention, the engine pylon for the suspension of a turbo engine under an aircraft wing is such that the trailing edge of the rear lower part of the engine pylon is shifted toward the root of the wing.
