Claim 7:
8. An automatic trajectory generation system for bringing an aircraft in flight from a current position to a georeferenced runway, said system comprising electronic circuitry configured so as to implement:
obtaining a procedure, called STARI procedure, which is suited to said georeferenced runway and which provides a final trajectory for the approach to said runway that is flyable by the aircraft in order to land, regardless of a performance of the aircraft, and such that, from an entry point of the final trajectory or any point above it, a holding loop pattern of a predefined shape is flyable in order to dissipate energy if necessary;
computing a lateral trajectory, avoiding any terrain relief, meteorological obstacles and military no-fly zones, between the current position of the aircraft and said entry point or a point above it, based on performance adapted to an operational state of the aircraft;
providing an overall trajectory in order to bring the aircraft to landing on said runway, by linking the computed lateral trajectory and the final trajectory provided by the STARI procedure, including one or more iterations of the holding loop pattern if necessary.
