Abstract
A piloting assistance system for an aircraft comprises a flight management computer and a guidance computer. The flight management computer transmits speed setpoints to the guidance computer so as to pilot the aircraft in accordance with an initial speed profile or in accordance with an RTA speed profile following the reception of an RTA constraint. In response to the reception of a setpoint speed selected by a flight crew member in the presence of the RTA constraint, the guidance computer pilots the aircraft at the selected speed and the flight management computer determines a deselection point for returning to a predetermined speed profile while still complying with the RTA constraint. The guidance computer commands the display, on a navigation screen, of a symbol corresponding to the position of the deselection point.
