Abstract

A method and device are disclosed for automatically managing a flight path change on an aircraft, in particular for a low-level flight. The method determines a first deviation between the current position and a current path of the aircraft and a second deviation between this current position and a new path of the aircraft and changes the flight path by replacing the current path by the new path, if at least the absolute value of the difference between this first deviation and this second deviation is less than or equal to a maximal allowed distance during at least a predefined time period.
