A process for monitoring the validity of a speed cue of an aircraft may include computing a coefficient of lift, which is representative of the lift of the aircraft, on the basis of values of static and total pressure. A first value of angle of incidence is computed on the basis of the computed coefficient of lift, and a second value of angle of incidence is determined. The difference between the first and second values of angle of incidence is computed, and the absolute value of the difference is compared with a predetermined threshold value. Based on the comparison, the speed cue is deemed valid if the absolute value of the difference is below the threshold value and deemed invalid otherwise.

A process for improving the landing of an aircraft may include, prior to the aircraft contacting the ground, nose-up under-deflecting the aircraft's adjustable horizontal tail plane and nose-up deflecting the elevators. This arrangement increases the maximum nosedown swing of the elevators to increase the ability of the elevators to make the nose of the aircraft tilt downwards.

A process and device for optimization of deflection of spoiler flaps of an aircraft in flight may, in real time, compute an incidence potential available to be consumed by the spoiler flaps without endangering the aircraft and deflect the spoiler flaps toward the instructed deployed position as a function of the incidence potential.
