Abstract

A device for aiding the flight management of an aircraft includes a calculation device for determining in real time an updated lateral trajectory that the aircraft will follow and a display device for displaying this updated lateral trajectory on a cockpit screen of the aircraft. Consequently, the crew of the aircraft is able to readily visualize and understand the updated lateral trajectory that will put the aircraft back on the original course as a result of the display on the display device.
