Abstract: A method of determining a vertical path of an aircraft from its current position, an associated computer program product and a determining system are disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes determining a vertical path of the aircraft including determining an initial path segment and N following path segments, composing the vertical path of the aircraft from the determined path segments and freezing this vertical path. The method further includes determining a status of each of the altitude constraints along the entire vertical path of the aircraft, each status being chosen between an achievable status when the corresponding altitude constraint is satisfied and a missed status otherwise, and displaying the vertical path of the aircraft and statuses of the determined altitude constraints to the operator.
