Abstract

The invention relates to a system to control the deceleration of an aircraft during the taxiing phase on a landing strip, the system has a detector of the current position of the aircraft on the strip, and of the current speed of the aircraft on the strip, a calculator receiving position and speed values from the detector, to define, as a function of the desired final speed of the aircraft at the so-called final position on the strip, a deceleration set-point modification time, after the current time, and a new deceleration set-point to apply from the modification time, to reach the final position at the desired speed.
