More Information
Summary:A method for assisting the piloting of an aircraft landing on a runway comprising determining current flight conditions of the aircraft, determining, with the help of the current flight conditions, the following distances between projections, in a horizontal plane, of the current position of the aircraft and a position of contact with the ground: a minimum approach distance; a standard approach distance; and a distance to destination according to a predetermined flight path. The method includes placing the three distances in order according to their respective values, and displaying, along a scale of a screen in the aircraft cockpit, a first, a second and a third symbol respectively associated with the minimum approach distance, with the standard approach distance and with the distance to destination, these three symbols being placed in order on the scale according to the order of the distances with which they are associated.
