Abstract
A management method for managing an autopilot system fitted to an aircraft, the management method being adapted to manage at least one error in at least one succession of steps serving to generate at least one autopilot setpoint for the aircraft, the autopilot system comprising at least one computer serving to implement a plurality of successions of steps generating different autopilot setpoints for the aircraft. Such a method comprises an identification step serving to identify the at least one error, a calculation step for determining a total number of occurrences of the at least one error, a stop step serving to stop the at least one succession of steps, a reinitialization step for reinitializing the at least one succession of steps, and a relaunch step for relaunching the at least one succession of steps.
