Abstract
A method and a device for determining and displaying a flyaway distance for a rotorcraft in the event of an engine of the rotorcraft failing, and while taking account of the height of waves being overflown by the rotorcraft. The method includes a first determination for determining a flyaway distance of the rotorcraft in the event of a failure of an engine and under current flying conditions, a second determination for determining a maximum altitude of the waves being overflown by the rotorcraft and displaying the flyaway distance and the maximum altitude on a display instrument of the rotorcraft indicating the relative height of the rotorcraft or else its altitude. A safety margin is preferably added to the maximum altitude of the waves, or else to the flyaway distance of the rotorcraft.
