Abstract: This method for managing the flight of an aircraft in a visual approach phase to a runway is implemented by an electronic flight management system and comprises: acquiring at least one set among a set of values of lateral visual approach trajectory parameters and a set of values of vertical visual approach trajectory parameters, at least one of said values of visual approach trajectory parameters being able to be designated by a user, computing at least one trajectory among a lateral visual approach trajectory from the values of said lateral visual approach trajectory parameters and a vertical visual approach trajectory from the values of said vertical visual approach trajectory parameters, and generating a visual approach trajectory to the runway from the lateral visual approach trajectory and/or the vertical visual approach trajectory.

Abstract: A method implemented by computer for calculating a lateral approach trajectory of an aircraft, comprises the steps of receiving selection of a landing runway; determining a zone Z1, the zone defining trajectory limits to carry out a last turn with a view to landing on the indicated runway; receiving indication of a trajectory point FF defining a point of alignment of the aircraft; determining a joining trajectory bound for a point FAF2, the joining trajectory going from the aircraft to the point FAF2 and then to the point FF and then to the indicated landing runway without passing through the zone Z1. Developments describe the use of a zone Z2 associated with visibility conditions, the calculation of the energy to be dissipated, the use of a predefined descent profile, the emission of alerts and trajectory adaptations by increasing the length of the joining trajectory or use of the airbrakes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for positioning reporting points that allows an exact positioning of the said reporting points on the track to be conserved, by continually using their original references in order to reposition these points each time the track is recalculated. The advantages of this solution are, on the one hand, to continually position the reporting points along the track rather than off the track and, thus, to locate the reporting points exactly notably in terms of distance, time and altitude.
