Abstract: A method for managing the display of a vertical flight profile of an aircraft includes: determining a deviation between a predefined lateral trajectory and the current position of the aircraft projected in the plane of the trajectory; as a function of at least the determined deviation, selecting a display mode of the vertical flight profile from among a first mode and a second mode. When the first mode has been selected, calculating the distance between the orthogonal projection of the current position of the aircraft on the trajectory and the orthogonal projection of the next waypoint on the trajectory, and displaying, in the vertical flight profile, the next waypoint at a distance from the aircraft along a reference axis equal to the distance. When the second mode has been selected, calculating the distance instead from the current position of the aircraft in the plane of the trajectory.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of the methods for graphic representation of the relative position of the sky and of the earth in an onboard display system for aircraft, said graphic representation being displayed on a display screen comprising piloting and navigation information superimposed on a three-dimensional synthetic representation of the outside landscape. Said graphic representation is displayed only when the attitude of the aircraft is unusual, an unusual attitude corresponding to a roll value or to a pitch value located outside of a first range of nominal values. It comprises two disc segments of identical form, that are opaque and of different colour, situated symmetrically on a circle concentric to that bearing the roll scale, the straight-line segments of the two disc segments being parallel to the line representing the zero longitudinal trim indicator, the rotation of the two disc segments being slaved to the rotation of said zero longitudinal trim indicator.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of the graphical representation of a synthetic three-dimensional view of the exterior landscape in an on-board visualization system for aircraft, said graphical representation being displayed on a visualization screen comprising the piloting and navigation information of said aircraft superposed onto said three-dimensional synthetic representation of the exterior landscape, said synthetic representation being computed up to a first determined distance, characterized in that said three-dimensional synthetic representation is tilted at a tilt angle about an axis positioned at the level of the terrain in a substantially horizontal plane, and substantially perpendicularly to an axis between the flight direction and the heading of the aircraft, said axis moving with the aircraft.
