Abstract
An estimation device for estimating, during an aircraft approach procedure for landing on a runway following a predefined runway approach, a deviation relative to a reference guidance axis corresponding to the predefined runway approach, and a speed of an aircraft relative to the runway, the approach procedure being carried out with a landing aid device including at least one transmitter station configured to transmit the reference guidance signal defining the reference guidance axis. The estimation device includes an acquisition unit for a current aircraft position of a geo-positioning system, an acquisition unit for a current acceleration of an inertial unit, an acquisition unit for a current lateral and vertical deviation of a landing aid device, a filtering unit for estimating an unbiased aircraft speed, a filtering unit for estimating a current lateral deviation, a current vertical deviation as well as current lateral and vertical speeds of the aircraft.
