METHODS OF OPTIMIZING THE LOCATION OF AN AIRCRAFT ON THE GROUND AND IN THE TAKE-OFF AND LANDING PHASES
First Claim
1. Method of optimizing the locating of an aircraft during the take-off or landing phase, the aircraft comprising an in-flight locating system and an ground locating system, the method comprising a transition step, the latter being defined between two events, the first event being a condition of contact between the aircraft and the runway and the second event being a threshold condition defining a stabilized flight phase, wherein the transition step comprises the determination of at least one transition position of the aircraft by a weighting between the ground position determined by the ground locating system and the flight position determined by the in-flight locating system.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the field of methods and systems for optimizing the locating of an aircraft in airports and, more particularly, in the take-off and landing phases, and notably in the air-ground and ground-air transition phases. The method of optimizing the locating of an aircraft during the take-off or landing phase comprising a transition step (21), the latter being defined between two events (A0, AS), the first event being a condition of contact between the aircraft and the runway and the second event being a threshold condition defining a stabilized flight phase, is wherein the transition step (21) comprises the determination of at least one “transition position” of the aircraft by a weighting between the “ground position” (LOC_SOL) determined by the ground locating system and the “flight position” (LOV_VOL) determined by the in-flight locating system.
