Abstract
Method and device for automatically determining an optimized approach profile for an aircraft. The device provides for a flexible configuration change speed which is not limited to the standard single predetermined configuration change speed in order to prevent segments which are not authorized, in particular segments which are too steep, the following configuration (Ci+1) being able to be maintained during a configuration change in an upstream direction until the corresponding speed profile reaches a maximum speed.
