Abstract
The general field of the invention is that of methods for representing a rate of turn indicator for an aircraft implemented by an on-board avionics system. The method includes a step of graphically representing on a visualization device a symbol called 'aeroplane model', said graphic representation being a function of the specific speed of the aircraft and of its angle of inclination. In a favored embodiment, said aeroplane model includes two straight arms interlinked by a common point and inclined to the horizontal symmetrically in such a way as to form an inverted V. The angle of inclination of the two arms of the V is proportional to the specific speed of the aircraft, the coefficient of proportionality being determined in such a way that when the specific speed and the angle of inclination correspond to values compatible with the standard rate, said arm is parallel to the horizon line, thus indicating that the aircraft is carrying out its turn at the standard rate.
