Abstract:
1. A method for dynamically determining the position of the stop point of an aircraft on a terrain, comprising implementing, by a system configured for dynamically determining the position of the stop point, the following steps: dynamic measurement of the current geographical position of the aircraft, and its current ground speed; calculation of a first length representative of a flight phase of the aircraft, and calculation of a second length representative of a ground phase of the aircraft; calculation of the position of the stop point based on the first length, the second length and the current geographical position; and providing the position of the stop point to a communicator configured to provide communication as a function of the stop point to a crew of the aircraft; wherein the calculation of the first length comprises a phase for dynamically estimating a distance traveled by the aircraft during at least part of a flare phase of the aircraft; wherein the step of calculating the position of the stop point includes determining the geographical position of the stop point based on the current geographical position of the aircraft, the first length, the second length, and a reading (χ(t)) corresponding to the route of the aircraft.
