    Abstract: The invention relates to a head-up display system embedded in an aircraft pilotable by a pilot and having a head-down display screen. The display system includes: a head-up display screen configured to be arranged in the cockpit in a Plurality of positions and to be observed by the pilot from an observation point along a viewing field; at least one position, called interposition position, of the head-up screen corresponding to a position in which a part, called interposed part, is arranged across from a part of the head-down display screen in the viewing field between the observation point and this part; a display control module configured to display a conformal display area and when the head-up display screen is in the interposition position, a non-conformal display area in the interposed part.

    Abstract: A method for guidance and for assisting in following a trajectory for velocity-vector piloting of an aircraft includes a step of calculating, at all times, lateral and vertical offsets of the current position of the aircraft from a target trajectory, estimated by a flight management system, and then a joining heading and a joining gradient for the aircraft to join the trajectory depending on these offsets; and a following fourth step of displaying, in head-up or head-down form, a consistent guidance symbol centered on the calculated joining heading and the calculated joining gradient for joining the trajectory, on a piloting screen showing a velocity vector. The fourth step may display, in addition to the guidance symbol, one or more items of information anticipating the next trajectory break.
