Abstract
This flight management system comprises a flight management computer plotting, during the preparation of a flight by the crew, a flight plan with branchoffs from where diversion airport joining trajectories start and which is able, automatically or otherwise, as a function of the situation encountered during the progress of the flight, to substitute for the part of the flight plan remaining to be traversed, one of the diversion airport joining trajectories scheduled during the preparation of the flight plan. It is especially useful in the cases of late change of landing runway.
