Abstract:
A method and device automatically controls the driving of an aircraft along a ground path of an airport domain. A guidance system is configured to determine, with the aid of at least one current value of the aircraft and a ground rolling trajectory, a yaw rate setpoint enabling the aircraft to follow the ground rolling trajectory by application of a yaw rate command. The guidance system, with the aid of measured current values of parameters of the aircraft, the determined ground rolling trajectory and a speed profile that incorporates a variation of the longitudinal speed along the ground trajectory, a longitudinal speed setpoint that represents a longitudinal speed command to drive the aircraft along the ground trajectory, while complying with the speed profile. A piloting aid system calculates setpoints from the yaw rate command and applies the setpoints to control yaw motion of the aircraft.
