Abstract
This method comprises a step of determining a reference profile along a lateral trajectory precalculated comprising searching, in the precalculated lateral trajectory, at least one segment of discontinuity comprising a lateral discontinuity, determining a required distance corresponding to a minimum flight distance between the two segments bordering the discontinuity segment and integrating each required distance into the reference profile.This method further comprises a step of determining, on the basis of the reference profile, vertical predictions relating to a vertical trajectory of the aircraft and a step of determining, on the basis of the vertical predictions, a resulting lateral trajectory comprising, for each discontinuity segment, determining a substitution segment connecting the two corresponding bordering segments in a continuous manner.
