Abstract
A system for aiding landing includes a module for computing by extrapolation a trajectory of the aircraft on the basis of its current position, a module for determining whether the extrapolated trajectory cuts the ground ahead of a threshold of the landing runway, a module for measuring a current height of the aircraft above an overflown terrain, a module for determining whether the current height corresponds to a risk height, an alert module for generating an alert only if the two determinations carried out by the two determination modules are positive, and if the aircraft is situated at a distance with respect to the threshold of the landing runway which is less than a predetermined threshold distance.
