A method and device for assisting a pilot in flight management by enabling the pilot to anticipate situations involving a risk of collision with another aircraft or with the ground, or to anticipate a risk of deviation from a flight path. The method and device including acquiring current variables of an aircraft in flight, computing a safety corridor around the reference path of the aircraft, computing an immediate predicted actual path, and displaying, superposed on the same screen of the aircraft, the reference path of the aircraft in flight, said immediate predicted actual path and/or said safety corridor.

Device and method for assisting aircraft guidance

A method implemented by computer for the management of the flight of an aircraft comprises the steps of receiving flight directives and flight information associated with these directives; determining a flight context of the aircraft; as a function of the context determined, selecting information from among that associated with the formulation of a directive and/or with a current flight directive and/or with a change of a flight directive; sensorially restoring the selected information. Various developments are described, notably links to documentary resources, the determination of anomalies, the use of predefined logic rules and configuration options. System aspects and software aspects are described.
