Abstract

The device includes a reception unit for receiving a target energy including a target altitude and a target speed, a computation unit for computing a target energy state relative to the target energy, a computation unit for computing an energy difference between a final energy state at a final position, a computation unit for computing a dissipation distance making it possible for the aircraft to dissipate this energy difference, a computation unit for computing a limit position situated upstream of the final position, along a future flight trajectory of the aircraft, by the dissipation distance, the limit position being the most downstream position where the aircraft can dissipate the energy difference of the aircraft up to the final position, and an information transmission unit for transmitting at least the limit position to at least one user system.
