Abstract

A method of aiding the piloting of an aircraft during a maneuver, bringing about an increase in the attitude of the aircraft, is carried out automatically and repeatedly. According to the method, an attitude deviation is determined by subtracting a first value of attitude from a determined current attitude of the aircraft. A horizon line is presented on a display screen of a head-up display device, superimposed with the environment seen in front of the aircraft, as is an indication of the attitude deviation. The first value of attitude corresponds to the minimum value of (1) an optimal value of attitude at the end of the maneuver and (2) a value of attitude of protection against a rear collision.
