Abstract: Method and device for automatically monitoring and controlling an aircraft path Method consisting in comparing the position of an aircraft (1) with respect to at least one safety volume (2) whose coordinates are stored on board the aircraft (1). As soon as it is detected that the aircraft (1) enters the at least one safety volume (2), means of automatic piloting are activated automatically—hence with no human intervention—and pilot the aircraft (1) according to a disengagement trajectory (3) for exiting the safety volume (2), until the aircraft (1) has exited the safety volume (2).
