Claim:
A system for aiding control of the deceleration of an aircraft moving over the ground, said system including: controllable braking means for braking the aircraft when it is moving over the ground; a braking unit that automatically controls said braking means on the basis of received deceleration orders; a computing unit for computing deceleration orders; and an interface element at the disposal of an operator and connected to said computing unit, wherein: said computing unit determines a plurality of distance/speed pairs relating to the travel of the aircraft over a landing runway used for the landing of said aircraft and comprising a plurality of exits, each of said distance/speed pairs indicating the speed of movement of the aircraft at the associated distance, which is defined relative to the runway threshold, taking into account the point of impact of the aircraft on said landing runway at the time of landing; and said interface element includes: display means for displaying, on a display screen, a representation of said landing runway, showing said exits, and indications illustrating said distance/speed pairs, aiding an operator in choosing one of said exits; and selection means enabling an operator to select the chosen exit.
