    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for aircraft navigation along a predetermined airway, including an on-board navigation system supplying a positioning integrity of the aircraft during flight relative to said airway respecting an expected position precision performance level, and at least one on-board radio receiver on the aircraft suitable for communicating with at least one land-based radio beacon suitable for supplying a distance of the aircraft relative to said radio beacon. The system includes a module configured to obtain, from a current position of the aircraft and stored data, a tuple of radio beacons to be used, a module configured to obtain a distance measurement of the aircraft relative to each of the N radio beacons of said tuple, a module configured to compute an integrity position from distance measurements obtained by a predetermined computing method, and a module configured to use the computed integrity position as current integrity position.

    Abstract: A method for managing the trajectory of an aircraft implemented by computer comprises the steps consisting of: receiving the aeroplane performance levels, receiving a flight plan, receiving ground relief data, receiving weather data, determining the coordinates of a safety point according to the aeroplane performance levels, the relief data and the weather data, the safety point making it possible to continue the flight according to a predefined SID landing trajectory in case of outage of one or more engines of the aircraft. Developments are described, notably in computation of the spatial coordinates of the safety point, the management of several safety points and/or of EOSID trajectories, the insertion or the activation of an EOSID trajectory including in the absence of engine outage, the management of the Disarm Point flight plan point. System and software aspects are described.

    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.
