ABSTRACT:
A device includes a first unit for defining a main trajectory, which is followed by the aircraft, and an optional trajectory which deviates from the main trajectory, which exhibits at least one common point shared with said main trajectory and which is able to be followed by the aircraft if the trajectory is activated. The device also includes a second unit for automatically determining a decision point which indicates the last position of the aircraft along the main trajectory, where the optional trajectory can still be activated so as to allow the aircraft to follow it. The device further includes a third unit for automatically presenting the decision point to a pilot of the aircraft, and an actuatable unit which allows a pilot to activate the optional trajectory.
