Abstract
A method for aiding the landing of an aircraft on a landing runway comprises the following steps implemented in an automatic manner by a processing unit: a) acquiring information relating to the landing runway; b) acquiring information relating to a current situation of the aircraft; c) determining, as a function of said information, at least one deviation between at least one parameter relating to a landing position of the aircraft on the landing runway and a reference relating to a central longitudinal axis of the landing runway; d) comparing this deviation with a predetermined threshold; and e) as a function of the result of the comparison carried out in step d), commanding, if appropriate, the signaling of an alert by means of a signaling system of the aircraft.
