Abstract:
The device for assisting the landing of an aircraft in a phase of descent for the purpose of a landing on a runway with the help of an instrument landing assistance module includes an image capturing module for capturing a sequence of successive images of the ground, an image processing module, a monitoring module for detecting on the processed images at least one visual characteristic corresponding to a runway, a computation module for computing a current position of the aircraft and a comparison module for comparing the computed current position with a signal representative of a current position of the instrument landing assistance module, a go-around warning being transmitted to a display unit, if the current positions are not substantially identical.
