Abstract

A method and device for automatically comparing two flight trajectories for an aircraft includes a central processing unit having a first comparison element for automatically comparing lateral trajectories of the two flight trajectories, and a second comparison element for automatically comparing vertical trajectories of these two flight trajectories, these comparisons being carried out successively leg by leg of the flights, these comparisons being carried out as long as the respective successive legs are identical and at least for a predefined distance in the horizontal plane.
