Abstract
A system includes a reception unit to receive current flight data of the aircraft and current meteorological data, a data processing unit to perform an iterative computation to determine, as a function at least of a set of predetermined rules, of a set of constraints and of current values including current meteorological data, an optimal flight trajectory making it possible to generate a dissipation of the energy of the aircraft to bring it, at a stabilized final position, into a final energy state with a minimum ground distance, the optimal flight trajectory defining positions at which actions must be implemented on the aircraft, and a data transmission unit to transmit at least the minimum distance to at least one user system.
