Abstract:
1. A method of assisting the piloting of an aircraft in which a guard curve is determined as a function of the resources of the aircraft, wherein: the position of an obstacle or a point of the terrain situated in front of the aircraft is measured by telemetry, a distance D is calculated between the guard curve and the obstacle or terrain point, the points of a piloting curve (CP) for presenting to the pilot are calculated, in a plurality of angular sectors (  being determined using the formula: where G is a gain and τ is a warning time, where dD is the variation in the distance D between two successive time markers, and where dt is the time that elapses between said two time markers, and a pull-up order is produced when the sum  is negative, and a pull-down order is produced when the sum  is positive.
