Claim Text:
1. A method for revising a low-altitude flight phase of a flight path of an aircraft, said low-altitude flight phase (P 0 ) comprising at least one flight section (S1, S2, S3), said low-altitude flight phase (P 0 ) being defined from first parameters comprising phase parameters, including the name and altitude of an entry waypoint (A) and the name and altitude of an exit way point (G), and section parameters, wherein said method comprises: inputting second parameters to define an intermediate flight section (Si), said intermediate flight section (Si) having to be inserted into said flight phase, said second parameters comprising the name and the altitude of an upstream way point (C), the name and the altitude of a downstream waypoint (D), an altitude and a speed; distributing said first and second parameters so as to allocate them to a first upstream part (P said first parameters, except for the name and the altitude of an exit waypoint, which parameters are substituted with the name and altitude of said upstream waypoint (C) as input in the inputting step, are allocated to said first upstream part (P said first parameters, except for the name and the altitude of an entry waypoint, which parameters are substituted with the name and altitude of said downstream waypoint (D) as input in the inputting step are allocated to said second downstream part (P the altitude and the speed as input in the inputting step are allocated to said intermediate flight section (Si); calculating a profile relating to said intermediate flight section (Si) using said input altitude and speed and automatically inserting the profile into the flight phase between said first upstream part (P transmitting said revised flight phase (PR) to a user device.
