Abstract:
A device for assisting with the retrimming of at least one pilot control of an aircraft comprising a light-control system with which said control can control a controlled member of the aircraft and with which a flight-assistance system connected to said control can determine and apply a command to said controlled member so that an action of said controlled member allows a flight parameter to be kept at a reference value, said device comprising:at least one first detection means for detecting an actual position of said control;a calculation unit for determining a direction and magnitude of a displacement of said control, so as to retrim said control on the basis of said actual position detected by the detection means and a reference position of said control, corresponding to said control being in the trimmed position with regards to keeping said flight parameter at said reference value; anda display means for displaying to a pilot of the aircraft at least one characteristic sign indicating a direction and magnitude of a displacement of the control that is needed for retrimming the control.
