Abstract:
1. A method of piloting an aircraft according to at least one piloting axis of said aircraft, the method comprising: determining a control value which corresponds to a value of a piloting instruction relating to said piloting axis, said value being representative of an actuation of at least one control member of the aircraft, by a pilot of said aircraft; determining an actual controlled value which corresponds to a value of said piloting instruction, actually applied to the aircraft; and effecting a slaving of the aircraft relating to said piloting instruction, with the aid of said control value and of said actual controlled value, by applying to the aircraft an instruction to zero, if appropriate, the difference between said control value and said actual controlled value, wherein the method further comprises: calculating an auxiliary control value which is closer to said actual controlled value than said control value on the basis of said control value and of said actual controlled value; effecting a monitoring of said control value to detect a pilot induced oscillation; and in the event that the pilot induced oscillation is detected, performing the effecting of the slaving with the aid of said actual controlled value and of said auxiliary control value.
