Abstract: A method is provided for guaranteeing a temporal spacing between an aircraft and at least one reference moving object, said spacing needing to be guaranteed no later than at a point in the flight plan called the point of interception, with the aircraft following a current flight plan. The feasibility of guaranteeing the spacing at a date Tcour by regulating the speed of the aircraft while maintaining the current flight plan is verified in a first step. In a second step it is verified whether the date Tcour is contained within a feasibility range. In a third step the current flight plan is modified when the feasibility is not verified, a lateral trajectory between the current position Xcour of the aircraft and the point of interception being implemented in this case such that the spacing can be attained by regulating the speed.

Abstract: A method assisting in navigation of aircraft following a flight plan subject to time constraints comprises: determining a minimum speed profile, a maximum speed profile, and minimum and maximum times of passage; determining, for each constraint of index i, a restricted interval and a required interval; the determination made by a first iterative computation, i being decremented from n−1 to 1 and comprising: determining a required interval of index i enabling the aircraft to observe a restricted interval of index i+1 by flying at a speed profile between the minimum and maximum speed profiles, the restricted interval of index i+1 determined on the preceding iteration for an iteration of index between 1 and n−2, or from the time constraint of index n for the iteration of index n−1; and determining a restricted interval of index i from the intersection of the time constraint and the required interval of index i.

Abstract: A method and system, for flight management of an aircraft flying on a trajectory shifted with respect to a flight plan comprising a plurality of constrained waypoints, comprises a step of determining and displaying at least one point of the trajectory, termed decision point, beyond which the aircraft can no longer rejoin a constrained waypoint of the flight plan by determining a point of intersection between the trajectory and a rejoining trajectory steering towards the selected constrained waypoint, the rejoining trajectory complying with at least one predefined criterion.

Abstract: A method for managing a vertical flight plan comprises: a first step of breaking down an initial flight plan into a succession of contiguous segments, each segment comprising a change of altitude and/or of speed; a second step of calculating a lateral flight path of the flight plan based on the contiguous segments; a third step of calculating a vertical profile and a speed profile based on the calculated lateral flight path; a fourth step is a step of determining an active segment during the flight of the aircraft, by longitudinal distance sequencing of the contiguous segments. The method is notably suitable for the integration of tactical flight segments into a flight plan.

Abstract: A method is provided for adjusting a flight plan rejoining trajectory of an aircraft, the method being implemented in a flight management system of the aircraft. In a first step, the rejoining trajectory comprises a guidance setpoint holding point to be reached situated in the extension of a guidance setpoint, and set manually or automatically, the guidance setpoint no longer being necessarily maintained when this setpoint holding point is passed. This first step can be preceded by a step of rejoining a guidance setpoint or a step of searching for the intersection of the current guidance setpoint trajectory with a segment of the flight plan.

A reference vertical profile comprises a set of vertical constraints, and a method comprises a step of selecting an altitude constraint to be complied with, a step of calculating a vertical-profile prediction making it possible to comply with the constraint, a step of validating the vertical-profile prediction, if the vertical-profile prediction is validated, a step of applying the vertical-profile prediction, otherwise a step of determining the existence of a following altitude constraint to be complied with; if a following altitude constraint exists: a step of selecting a following altitude constraint to be complied with; a return to the step of detecting non-compliance with an altitude constraint; otherwise, a step of applying an exit procedure.
