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.
