A method for attenuating effects of turbulence on an aircraft, and a device to implement the method, the method including: using at least one signal on a wind profile signal, along an excitation direction, representing, at a given moment in an aircraft referential, a component along the excitation direction of the wind speed at a front of the aircraft according to a distance along a longitudinal direction of the aircraft; carrying out a frequency determination, in which the wind profile signal is processed to determine a frequential content; and selecting a control strategy to be adopted according to the previously determined frequential content, the strategy enabling at least one applicable control law to be identified.
