Abstract
The system for assisting the avoidance of an excursion by an aircraft from a runway or taxiway of an aerodrome includes a unit for monitoring the aerodrome so as to allow the detection, by optical detection, of a characteristic element of a pathway, for determining a current relative position of a landing gear of the aircraft (AC) with respect to the detected characteristic element, and for detecting a future excursion from the pathway of the aerodrome by the aircraft (AC) on the basis of at least this current relative position, and a unit for assisting the implementation of an action for assisting the avoidance of said future excursion. The system is configured for providing assistance to the pilot of the aircraft by improving his awareness of a potential excursion, by warning and/or ground navigation aid messages, and by providing protection of last resort via automatic braking.
