CA 2599583

The invention concerns a terrain avoidance method and system for an aircraft. The system comprises a collision alarm device (3) and an auto-pilot device (5) including means (7) for determining a climbing order with optimal slope for the aircraft, means (12) for checking whether a first altitude gain at the relief, by applying the optimal slope climbing order, is sufficient for clearing said relief, means (11) for finding if there exists at least one heading variation value, for which the corresponding altitude gain is sufficient to clear the relief, and means (17, 22) for applying to the aircraft, if the first altitude gain is sufficient, an optimal slope climbing order with an order to maintain the current heading and, if the first altitude gain is insufficient, a particular climbing order sufficient to clear the relief, with a heading order which corresponds to the selected heading variation value.

Procédé et système d'évitement de terrain pour un aéronef. Le système comporte un dispositif d'alerte de collision (3) et un dispositif de pilotage automatique (5) comprenant un moyen (7) pour déterminer un ordre de montée à pente optimale pour l'aéronef , un moyen (12) pour vérifier si un premier gain de hauteur au niveau du relief, en appliquant un ordre de montée à pente optimale, est suffisant pour franchir ce relief , un moyen (11 ) pour rechercher s'il existe au moins une valeur de variation de cap, pour laquelle le gain de hauteur correspondant est suffisant pour franchir le relief , et un moyen (17, 22) pour appliquer à l'aéronef, si le premier gain de hauteur est suffisant, un ordre de montée à pente optimale avec un ordre de maintien du cap courant et, si le premier gain de hauteur est insuffisant, un ordre de montée particulier suffisant pour franchir le relief, avec un ordre de cap qui correspond à la valeur de variation de cap sélectionnée.
