Abstract
Disclosed is a method and device for aiding the piloting on an aircraft during a landing phase. One of the landing runways of an airport onto which the aircraft is to land is determined by a runway determination device. A position determining unit is used to determine a current position of the aircraft in a reference frame. A minimum breaking distance is estimated by an estimation unit, upon the aircraft passing above tje determined landing runway. The minimum braking distance is compared by a distance comparison unit with a length of the determined landing runway, and an alert is emitted by an alert unit, when said minimum braking distance is greater than the length of said determined landing runway.
