Abstract
Method for signalling insufficient maneuverability of an aircraft according to which: PA1 in a preparatory phase: with the aid of a plurality of N flight configurations, the weighting coefficients between three quantities G1, G2, G3 are determined, representative respectively of the acceleration, the slope angle of the trajectory and the risk of stalling, coefficients such that the weighted sum of said quantities is less than a threshold when maneuverability is insufficient; PA1 in an in-flight utilization phase: said weighted sum is calculated and a signal signifying insufficient maneuverability is generated if said sum is less than said threshold. Application to controlling aircraft.
