Abstract
A method of assisting in piloting an aircraft having a fuselage, the aircraft having a first side arrangement and a second side arrangement, which arrangements are disposed laterally on either side of the fuselage, and each of them participates in the movement of the aircraft. During an assistance phase, the method includes the following steps: measuring a value of a first ground clearance of the first side arrangement and a value of a second ground clearance of the second side arrangement; and displaying on a screen at least one symbol that varies as a function of the variation in the value of the first ground clearance and/or of the variation in the value of the second ground clearance.
