    Abstract: A piloting assistance system for an aircraft includes a measuring module for measuring a vertical manoeuvre of the aircraft, a computational module for computing a first load factor from the measured vertical manoeuvre and from a setpoint vertical manoeuvre, a measuring module for measuring an inclination angle, a pitch rate and a pitch acceleration, a protection module including a computational submodule configured to compute a second load factor and a comparison submodule in order to compare the first and the second load factor in order to determine an applicable load factor equal to the minimum between the first and the second load factor, a computational module configured to compute elevator control from the applicable load factor and a sending module configured to send the elevator control to the automatic pilot.
