Abstract
A method for preparing and controlling navigation of an aircraft uses a processor equipped with memories, a screen and keys. It comprises the steps of preparing the route to be followed by an aircraft by loading into the memory data pertaining to a route, defining parameters characterizing the environment in which the navigation will take place, and displaying during navigation a couple of way points including the last point through which the aircraft has passed and the next way point, the segment joining these two points together, and information required to control navigation between these two points. The invention enables the pilot to prepare his navigation without taking measurement readings and performing calculations.
