Abstract: A method for verifying coherence of takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at a moment of takeoff comprises a step of identifying a takeoff runway and a step of validating takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway.

Abstract: The inventive flight control assisting device comprises first means (4) for determining the actual aircraft flight conditions, second means (5) for determining, with the aid of said actual flight conditions and a predetermined pattern, a minimum approaching distance corresponding to a minimum distance between projections on the horizontal plane of the aircraft actual position and a touch-down point when said aircraft moves downwards and decelerates according to an optimised approach in such a way that stabilised approaching conditions are attained, and display means (7) for displaying at least said minimum approaching distance on a navigation screen (9) in the form of a first circular arc focused on a position relative to the aircraft which displays the touch-down position.

Abstract: A method and device for aiding the piloting of an airplane includes: (1) determining current values of flight parameters of the airplane, (2) determining, with the aid of the current values, an approach distance that corresponds to a distance in a horizontal plane between the current position of the airplane and a position of contact with the ground, and (3) presenting the approach distance on a screen.

Abstract: A method for detecting an error in input of one of the takeoff parameters into a flight management system includes a step of calculating a limit value based on one or more takeoff parameters input into the flight management system. The method further includes a step of comparing the calculated limit value with characteristic takeoff values.

Abstract: A method for verifying the coherence of the takeoff parameters of an aircraft from an airport with an available runway length at the moment of takeoff comprises a step (E20) of identifying a takeoff runway and a step (E30) of validating the takeoff parameters with a view to authorizing takeoff of the aircraft if the takeoff distance is shorter than the remaining runway length associated with the identified takeoff runway. Use to make takeoff of an aircraft from an airport safe.
