ABSTRACT:
A station for assisting the control of an aircraft includes warning means (5) adapted to deliver an alert for avoiding a later collision when there is a risk that the predicted flight trajectory of the aircraft crosses any predicted flight path of another aircraft. An arrangement (4) is adapted to determine whether the aircraft carrying said station is within an airspace volume with defined geometrical dimensions and time of appearance and disappearance or not and make the function of the warning means dependent upon this comparison by, when located in said airspace volume, deactivating said warning means with respect to other aircraft of a predefined identity, and when not located in said airspace volume, activate or keep the function of said warning means activated with respect to aircraft of said predefined identity. (FIG. 1).
