A method for guidance and for assisting in following a trajectory for velocity-vector piloting of an aircraft includes a step of calculating, at all times, lateral and vertical offsets of the current position of the aircraft from a target trajectory, estimated by a flight management system, and then a joining heading and a joining gradient for the aircraft to join the trajectory depending on these offsets; and a following fourth step of displaying, in head-up or head-down form, a consistent guidance symbol centered on the calculated joining heading and the calculated joining gradient for joining the trajectory, on a piloting screen showing a velocity vector. The fourth step may display, in addition to the guidance symbol, one or more items of information anticipating the next trajectory break.

Guidance method and system for assisting in following a trajectory for velocity-vector piloting of an aircraft

The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.

The present invention relates to a method for displaying traffic in the vicinity of a reference aircraft in a non-compliant display zone, and comprising the following steps: acquisition () of a position of one of the surrounding aircraft and determination of a relative two-dimensional position of the surrounding aircraft relative to the reference aircraft in a real plane and at a relative altitude; associating () a traffic symbol with the surrounding aircraft; determination () of a two-dimensional position of the reference aircraft in a virtual plane representative of the real plane; displaying () in perspective the virtual plane and the traffic symbol at the distance of the two-dimensional position of the reference aircraft in this virtual plane.

Method of visualization of the traffic around of a reference aircraft in a non-compliant display zone, associated computer product program and visualization system

A method of visualization of the traffic around a reference aircraft including acquiring the actual position of a surrounding aircraft, delimiting part of the airspace around this position by a current three-dimensional contour, visualizing the current three-dimensional contour, tracking the actual position of the surrounding aircraft, and when this position is outside the current three-dimensional contour: delimiting part of the airspace around the actual position of the surrounding aircraft by a new current three-dimensional contour, and visualizing the current three-dimensional contour.
