A display device for displaying information relative to a flight by an aircraft is provided. The information includes information relative to an energy variation of the aircraft, the energy variation being expressed by a variable representative of that energy variation. The display device is configured to show, on a viewing screen, an energy variation symbol representative of a current value of the variable. The display device is configured to further show at least one energy variation bound symbol representative of a threshold value of the variable, the threshold value corresponding to an authorized acceleration bound for the aircraft to keep or bring the speed of the aircraft in or toward a predefined usage speed range.

Device for displaying an energy variation and an energy variation bound of an aircraft

A piloting assistance system for an aircraft during manual piloting is provided. The piloting assistance system includes a monitoring module, configured to compare an acceleration of the aircraft to an authorized acceleration that depends on a speed of the aircraft, an acceleration control module, able to be switched between an activated state and a deactivated state, and configured so as, in the activated state, excluding the deactivated state, to generate a control signal of at least one control device of the acceleration of the aircraft to push the acceleration of the aircraft toward the authorized acceleration range, in order to keep or push the speed of the aircraft in a predefined usage speed range, the monitoring module being configured to activate the acceleration control module when the acceleration of the aircraft is not comprised in the authorized acceleration range.

Aircraft piloting assistance system and method

A display system of an aircraft, able to display a horizon line able to be deformed and related method are provided. The display system includes a display unit; and an assembly for generating a display on the display unit, able to dynamically display, on the display unit, at least one horizon line and a slope scale relative to the horizon line. Upon approaching a landing strip, the display generator is able to create, on the horizon line, a region that is deformed as a function of the topographical slope of the landing strip approached by the aircraft.

The method according to the invention comprise the following steps, dynamic measurement of the current geographical position of the aircraft, and its current ground speed, calculation of a first length representative of a flight phase of the aircraft, and calculation of a second length representative of a ground phase of the aircraft, calculation of the position of the stop point based on the first length, the second length and the current geographical position. The calculation of the first length comprises a phase for dynamically estimating a distance traveled by the aircraft during at least part of a flare phase of the aircraft.
