Abstract
A device and process for aiding the driving of an aircraft running over the ground in an acceleration phase with a view to takeoff may include determining a current speed v0 of the aircraft and a value acc corresponding to a deceleration of the aircraft during emergency braking. A distance df to be traveled on the ground by the aircraft while stopping is calculated using the expression df=(v0)2/2 acc, and a stopping position of the aircraft is calculated from the distance df and a current position of the aircraft. Thereafter, the distance df and the stopping position are presented to a driver of the aircraft with the aid of an appropriate device.
