Abstract: A display method comprises a step during which an aircraft flight management computer sends display instructions to a display management system, to control the display of an aircraft flight plan window. The display method also comprises steps comprising acquiring a reference point and a vertical flight profile of the aircraft comprising the reference point, and computing, using the vertical flight profile, an altitude of the reference point. It also comprises steps comprising acquiring an information item relating to a flight phase associated with the reference point, acquiring an information item relating to a selected display range, determining a vertical centering coefficient of a display window relating to the vertical flight profile, as a function of the flight phase and transmitting, to the display management system, instructions for displaying the display window as a function of the altitude of the reference point and of the centering coefficient of the display window.

Abstract: A method and device for automatically comparing two flight trajectories for an aircraft includes a central processing unit having a first comparison element for automatically comparing lateral trajectories of the two flight trajectories, and a second comparison element for automatically comparing vertical trajectories of these two flight trajectories, these comparisons being carried out successively leg by leg of the flights, these comparisons being carried out as long as the respective successive legs are identical and at least for a predefined distance in the horizontal plane.

Abstract: A method and assembly for guidance of an aircraft during a low-altitude flight. The guidance assembly comprises a memory forming part of a flight management system, which is configured to store an active flight trajectory and any new flight trajectory, generated by the flight management system, and a memory forming part of a guidance system, which is configured to also store the flight trajectory and any new flight trajectory, which are received from the flight management system, the guidance assembly being configured to periodically transmit from the guidance system to the flight management system identification codes for the flight trajectories recorded in the memory of the guidance system.

Abstract: A device for revising a low-altitude flight phase of a flight path of an aircraft includes an input unit configured to allow an operator to input parameters to define an intermediate flight section (Si) which has to be inserted into a low-altitude flight phase, and a processing unit configured to calculate a profile relating to the intermediate flight section (Si) using input parameters, and to automatically insert this profile into the flight phase between a first upstream part (P1) and a second downstream part (P2) so as to establish a revised flight phase (PR).

Abstract: A system for automatically modifying a lateral flight plan of an aircraft includes modifying means adapted to modify the flight plan by an action to chosen among the following actions: deleting, adding and moving at least one waypoint of an initial flight plan (T1). The modified flight plan (T3) includes one downstream waypoint (P6) defined as the waypoint on which the aircraft gets back to the initial flight plan (T1), and one upstream waypoint (P4) preceding the downstream waypoint (P6). By defining an intermediate point (P5?) between the upstream (P4) and downstream (P6) waypoints, the coordinates are calculated in order to allow the aircraft to reach the downstream waypoint (P6) with the same course as the initial flight plan (T1).
