Abstract
An aircraft guidance system for assisting in airport navigation includes: at least one airport database comprising topology data of an airport, called airport DB; at least one configuration database comprising aircraft configuration data and the position of a guidance point; a positioning system delivering aircraft kinematic and attitude parameters; at least one computer generating a 2D view of the representation of the airport notably comprising navigation indications and a representation of the aircraft; and at least one display for displaying the representation of the airport. In the system, a first symbol is generated on the display indicating the position of an early guidance point, corresponding to the position of the guidance point at a future time.
