Abstract

A method and system for determining a position error of an aircraft. The system comprises a set of collection modules implemented in an iterative manner, including an offset collection module, a position vector collection module, a set of sequentially implemented computation modules, including an angular alignment bias computation module, an observable position bias computation module and a position error computation module. The system thus allows a position error to be determined that is used to perform a landing in good conditions.
