Abstract
A method and device for determining a control set point of an aircraft, an associated computer program and an aircraft are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes calculating a performance scale in the form of slope values of the aircraft, the performance scale including a slope characteristic value, the slope characteristic value being associated with a corresponding performance characteristic value. The method also includes acquiring a guidance set point and displaying the acquired guidance set point, in the form of a slope value with respect to the performance scale. The method further includes determining a slope characteristic value associated with a guidance set point displayed in the form of a slope value, and calculating an aircraft control set point, the control set point being calculated relative to the performance characteristic value corresponding to the determined slope characteristic value.
