Abstract
A method and device for aiding piloting of an aircraft, during at least one flight phase including piloting steps. The device includes a unit for real-time acquisition of flight parameters of the aircraft, a calculation unit for calculating in real time with the parameters, for each of the piloting steps, a distance between current position of the aircraft and a position along a flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the corresponding piloting step. At least one display unit is provided for displaying, in real time, characteristic signs each illustrating one of the piloting steps, the characteristic signs being integrated into the environment viewed with the aid of the screen and being positioned so as to make it possible to locate a place of the environment along the flight trajectory followed by the aircraft, at which the aircraft will reach the piloting step.
