    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for identifying a landing zone and for displaying on a head-up display system onboard an aircraft, a symbol conforming to the landing zone, the aircraft being apt to fly over a terrain and to land on the landing zone of the terrain. The aircraft is a helicopter, a drone or an electric aircraft with vertical take-off and landing. The method includes at least the following steps:—a hovering phase of the aircraft over the landing zone and acquisition of the geographical position of the landing zone;—a flight of the aircraft towards the landing zone and display on the head-up display system, of a symbol conforming to the landing zone at the measured geographic position.
