Method and device for automatically managing air operations requiring a guarantee of navigation and guidance performance of an aircraft. The device for automatically managing at least one air operation comprises activatable monitoring of the air operation, a computation unit configured to automatically calculate an anticipated activation point as a function of the application point of the air operation, this anticipated activation point being defined upstream of the application point in the direction of flight of the aircraft, and an activation unit configured to automatically activate monitoring and a display when the aircraft reaches, during its flight, the anticipated activation point.

The device includes a receiving unit for receiving at least a start point of an unspecified termination segment, an orientation of the unspecified termination segment and a start point of a following segment, a first computation unit for calculating a median plane passing through the start point of the following segment and perpendicular to this following segment, a second computation unit for calculating an operational distance, called calculated operational distance, as a function of the position of the start point of the unspecified termination segment relative to the median plane, using geometric data, and a transmission unit for providing at least one user means with the calculated operational distance.

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.
