Abstract: A method for the remote piloting, with latency, of a remotely piloted aircraft, notably includes the steps of: receiving a position in space of the remotely piloted aircraft in a first flight management system or FMS; determining at least one lock point V on the flight plan at a later position than the said position; locking the path and/or the flight plan of the remotely piloted aircraft as far as V. Developments describe the communication and implementation of an amendment in an onboard second FMS, notably the prevention or the postponement of an amendment before or beyond V, the adjustment of the distance between the current position and V as a function of the speed and of the cumulative latency time, of the conditions of validity, of the options to display and to offset point(s) continuously, etc. Software and system aspects (fleets of land, sea, underwater, space, etc. systems) are described.
