The disclosure is an aircraft collision-avoidance device used notably during landing approach. The device includes at least means of fixing the position of the aircraft, a database, first means of comparison, means of extraction of the point of touch-down on the runway, means of calculating the real glide slope vector of the aircraft, means of extraction of the theoretical glide slope vector of the aircraft, and second means of comparison used to compare the real and theoretical slope vectors. It is applicable in particular to airliners during final approach to landing.
