PCT No. PCT/FR97/00116 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 3, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 3, 1998 PCT Filed Jan. 21, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/28423 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 7, 1997The invention relates to processes for aiding aerial navigation. According to the invention, there is proposed a process for aiding aerial navigation, using a flight management system (FMS) which carriers out a dialogue with the pilot by means of several interfaces which include at least one display screen. The flight management system displays on the screen a time-graduated abscissa axis, an altitude-graduated ordinate axis, and, in this system of axes, a plot representing a theoretical path of an aircraft. The flight management system scrolls the time axis and optionally the altitude axis in such a way that the origin of the axes at the instant of display represents, along the abscissa, the time at the instant of display and along the ordinate the altitude of the aircraft at this instant. The pilot thus obtains a better assessment of the time management of the flight.
