Abstract
A method and device for assisting in piloting of an aircraft in approach to a landing runway with a view to a landing, including a module for determining current state of the aircraft, a module for determining distance between a target state and current state from an approach strategy and an ellipse formed by points determined such that a sum of a distance between the current position of the aircraft and the points of the ellipse and of a distance between the points of the ellipse and a projection of the target position on a horizontal plane of movement of the aircraft is equal to distance between target state and current state. The ellipse is displayed on a screen. The ellipse form gives indicates significance and variation of the energy surfeit of the aircraft. The pilot can decide on actions to maneuver the aircraft appropriately to dissipate the excess energy.
