    Abstract: Aircraft mission calculation system includes a first calculator configured to calculate a plurality of iso-displacement curves from a selected point, at a displacement range corresponding to several successive displacement increments of the aircraft from the selected point, the iso-displacement curves being obtained at the displacement range for a displacement of the aircraft to a given flight level from displacements of the aircraft at distinct flight altitude levels. The first calculator is configured to determine, based on iso-displacement curves up to the given flight level, obtained at distinct flight altitude levels, taken at the same displacement range of the aircraft, an extended iso-displacement curve at the given flight level maximizing the displacement of the aircraft from the geographical point of origin or minimizing the displacement of the aircraft toward the geographical destination point.

    Abstract: A piloting assistance system of a platform, and associated method are provided. The system includes a first detector for detecting a windshear able to generate a first alert that the platform is approaching a windshear zone; a second detector for detecting a windshear able to generate a second alert indicating the presence of the platform in the windshear zone; and a guider of the platform. The guider is able to automatically select a first guidance mode when a first alert is generated by the first detector, and to automatically select at least one second guidance mode different from the first guidance mode when a second alert is generated by the second detector. The system includes an information device able to display unified windshear alert information and/or unified information for implementation of a guidance mode, shared by the first alert and the second alert.
