Abstract: A method and device for aiding the piloting of an aircraft during an intermediate approach phase of a descent. The method includes receiving, by a flight management system, values of parameters relative to the aircraft and a flight thereof, and determining, by the flight management system and based on the received values, a vertical profile. The vertical profile includes at least one deceleration segment with an adaptive slope, which defines a descent path that enables the aircraft to hold a constant deceleration rate during the intermediate approach phase. The method also includes guiding, by an aircraft guidance system, the aircraft according to the vertical profile during the intermediate approach phase such that the aircraft holds the constant deceleration rate during the intermediate approach phase.

Abstract: Method and device for aiding the piloting of an aircraft during an intermediate approach phase of a descent. The device includes means for determining a vertical profile (PV) which comprises at least one deceleration segment (SD) with an adaptive flight path angle.
