Abstract

A pilot assistance device includes information sources for determining automatically, in real time, a current vertical load factor of the aircraft, a computation unit for computing automatically, in real time, a flight director value using the current vertical load factor and a target vertical load factor representing a vertical load factor desired for the aircraft in the parabolic flight, the flight director value being computed in such a way as to be equal to a reference value when the current vertical load factor becomes equal to the target vertical load factor, and a display unit for presenting automatically, in real time, on a load factor scale, displayed on a screen of the cockpit of the aircraft, an indicator representative of the flight director value, computed by the computation unit, and an indicator indicating the reference value.
