The inventive flight control assisting device comprises first means () for determining the actual aircraft flight conditions, second means () for determining, with the aid of said actual flight conditions and a predetermined pattern, a minimum approaching distance corresponding to a minimum distance between projections on the horizontal plane of the aircraft actual position and a touch-down point when said aircraft moves downwards and decelerates according to an optimised approach in such a way that stabilised approaching conditions are attained, and display means () for displaying at least said minimum approaching distance on a navigation screen () in the form of a first circular arc focused on a position relative to the aircraft which displays the touch-down position.

Method and device for assisting an aircraft flight control during landing approach

A method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane includes: (1) determining current values of flight parameters of the airplane, (2) determining, with the aid of the current values, an approach distance that corresponds to a distance in a horizontal plane between the current position of the airplane and a position of contact with the ground, and (3) presenting the approach distance on a screen.

Method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane during an approach phase

The display device () comprises display means () comprising a screen (), a data base () provided with data on the airport, an actuating system () for selecting a degree of zoom, a central unit () that controls the display means () such that it shows the airport on the screen () according to a scale value representative of a selected degree of zoom, and a means () making it possible to parameterize scale values. The display means () shows the airport solely in plan view on the screen (), and the central unit () controls it such that it shows on the screen () details, according to one of a plurality of different levels of detail, each of the said levels of detail being dependent on the selected degree of zoom.
