ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to aiding airport navigation by emission of an alert reminding the pilot of a craft moving on the surface of an airport of the circulation constraints encountered locally over his route. The method comprises the following steps: partitioning of the circulation surfaces of the airport into elementary circulation constraint zones each enclosing a set of adjoining points subject to the same local circulation constraints, identifications of the elementary zones and of their specific circulation constraints, detection of the encroachment of the craft into the elementary zones, and upon each encroachment of the craft into an elementary zone, reminder by alert generation, to the commander of the craft, of one at least of the circulation constraints specific to the elementary zone concerned.
