The invention relates to a method for controlling the deceleration on the ground of a vehicle. The method obtains, from the crew of the vehicle or from an outside operator, parameters relating to its current position and its current speed. Then it determines a reference position and speed of the vehicle, the reference position being a theoretical position to be reached by the vehicle. Finally it determines, from indicated parameters and from reference parameters, a deceleration command with a view to ending up at a target position at a preselected speed.

Method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane during a landing phase for ensuring, during rollout on a landing runway, that in the nominal case the airplane will stop level with a selected exit, while guaranteeing that in the case of a fault the airplane will stop before the end of the runway.

Disclosed is an aircraft that comprises a fuselage, a left wing and a right wing opposite one another with respect to said fuselage and each enclosing at least one fuel tank. The aircraft further includes a control device that controls transfer of fuel from a tank on one wing to a tank on another wing, and an automatic pilot that detects a roll-wise inclination of the aircraft as a result of lateral dissymmetry. The automatic pilot is linked to the control device such that the automatic pilot controls the control device to transfer the fuel only at a condition of rectilinear and uniform cruising flight of the aircraft.
