Abstract

A method for detecting obstacles in the vicinity of an aircraft. The method comprises the following steps: examining a surrounding space by means of an obstacle sensor, the obstacle sensor generating positioning data relating to a plurality of obstacle points; determining, from among the obstacle points, each relevant point situated within a predetermined detection volume, the detection volume being different from the surrounding space; and displaying the relevant points on a display.
