Claim Text:
1. A monitoring device for monitoring the stabilisation of the final approach phase of an aircraft to a landing runway, the device comprising: acquisition means for acquiring an instantaneous position of the aircraft, calculating means for calculating an instantaneous distance between the instantaneous position of the aircraft, and a characteristic point of the landing runway, determination means for determining one or more variables relating to the aircraft, when said instantaneous distance is comprised between first and second predetermined distances, generation means for generating an alert signal, when at least one of said one or more variables is outside a boundary of a respective domain of values, wherein one or more boundaries are associated with each of the one or more variables, wherein each boundary depends on the instantaneous distance between the instantaneous position of the aircraft and the characteristic point of the landing runway, wherein each boundary satisfies a monotonic function when the instantaneous distance between the instantaneous position of the aircraft and the characteristic point decreases.
