    Abstract: The system for aiding the landing of an aircraft on a landing runway of an airport equipped with an Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) corresponding to an axis of a predetermined approach, includes: an ILS signals receiver and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to, when the ILS signals receiver) has not yet captured a Glide signal corresponding to a Glide axis of the approach as a function of items of information relating to the predetermined approach, acquired from a database, determine a protection volume in which there is no risk of the ILS signals receiver detecting a replica of the Glide signal; and when a current position of the aircraft is above the protection volume, inhibit the capture of the Glide signal by the ILS signals receiver and instruct the emission of an alert item of information in the cockpit of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A flight management unit includes two guidance subsystems each including a flight management system, each of the flight management systems being configured at least to extract a flight plan from at least one navigation database, to construct a flight trajectory, and to compute guidance commands for the aircraft. The flight management unit also includes at least one monitoring unit configured to compute a guidance command from a validated flight trajectory and a consolidated flight plan and to monitor the guidance command, as well as guidance commands computed by the two flight management systems so as to be able to detect and to identify a defective flight management system.
