Abstract
A method having a step of preparing an on-board database containing various kinds of geographical data. During a step of preparing a risk database, at least one local weather risk is stored prior to flight for at least one mesh. During a weather determination step, current and/or forecast weather conditions are acquired for at least one mesh. During a processing step, at least one combined parameter is determined for at least one mesh, each value of a combined parameter being obtained by applying a logic function giving the value of the combined parameter for a mesh as a function of the geographical data and also of the weather risk and the meteorological data. During an analysis step, the presence of a potential local weather danger, at least around the aircraft, is detected in flight as a function of the combined parameter values.
