Abstract: A method and device for automatically monitoring a self-contained approach of an aircraft. The device (1) includes a computation unit (8) for calculating, in real time, a first limit depending on a decision height entered by a pilot and a second limit depending on the current height of the aircraft and for selecting, as an alert limit, the maximum value between the first limit and the second limit, a computation unit (9) for calculating, in real time, a protection limit depending on performance of the aircraft, a comparison unit (10) for comparing the protection limit with the alert limit, and an alert unit (13) for emitting an alert signal if the protection limit is greater than the alert limit.

Abstract: The guidance device of the aircraft includes a unit for constructing a flight trajectory of the aircraft, which adapts the height of the flight trajectory to a downstream relief so as to allow the aircraft to clear this downstream relief by implementing a rectilinear climb at maximum rate of climb of the aircraft, along a rectilinear lateral direction corresponding to the direction of the aircraft at the moment of the triggering of the maneuver.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an efficient method of improving the solubility of zinc in zinc-containing still drinking water so as to extend its shelf life. This method comprises a carbonating step of said still drinking water with a low carbon dioxide concentration.

Abstract: A calculation unit configured to define a safety corridor, whose width is increased compared with a nominal width, at least by one width of an escape trajectory with a spiral climb of the aircraft, wherein the safety corridor that is thus defined by the calculation unit is used by a construction unit for forming a flight trajectory for a low level flight of an aircraft.

Abstract: A method and device for updating the position of an aircraft includes a flight management system incorporating first and second position supplying devices for supplying first and second positions during flight. The first position is based on inertial data and based on data from a satellite positioning system. The second position is based on inertial data and based on data from a radio-navigation system. The flight management system also includes an updating system that includes a fly over updating device, a radar updating device, and a take off updating device. The updating system is operable to generate an updating position manually or automatically that will be used as the second position and selected as a new position for use with the flight management system.

Abstract: Method and device for updating the position of an aircraft The device (1) includes means (14, 24) for updating the position of an aircraft, which operate only at the level of the flight management system (16) of the aircraft.
