Abstract: A method for aiding navigation is provided, implemented in a flight management system, for the construction of a vertical trajectory of an aircraft following a predetermined lateral trajectory between a departure point and an arrival point; the departure point and arrival point furthermore being characterized by predefined altitudes, respectively Hd and Ha, and predefined speeds, respectively Vd and Va. The method comprises the steps of: selection of a transition manoeuvre in terms of altitude and speed from a predetermined list of manoeuvres; determination of a manoeuvre point PM on the lateral trajectory, of altitude Hd and of speed Vd, from which the transition manoeuvre must be initiated so as to allow the aircraft to reach at the arrival point the predefined speed Va and the predefined altitude Ha.

Abstract: A method for assisting in the flight management of an aircraft calculates a local operating cost function CF(xi, hj) at various altitudes hj along a planned reference flight trajectory over a discrete set of points P(xi, hj) which forms a two-dimensional grid in which the planned vertical reference flight trajectory varies, the local cost function CF(xi, hj) being calculated locally at each point P(xi, hj) according to aircraft data and environmental data predicted at said local point P(xi, hj). Then, for each point P(xi, hj) of the grid, the method determines a neighbourhood including the point P(xi, hj), and associates a colour K(xi, hj) therewith that is dependent on the value of the local cost function CF(xi, hj) using a predetermined bijective lookup transformation. Next, the method displays the coloured grid formed by the coloured neighbourhoods. The method is implemented in an onboard flight management avionics system, in an onboard tablet of EFB type, in a ground tool of the operator which is interfaced with the onboard flight management system, or by distribution over the three types of systems.

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.
