1. A method for aiding the piloting of an aircraft during an approach final phase for a landing on an airport, said approach final phase being implemented according to one of a plurality of different approaches, to each one of which is associated one particular decision height, a method wherein:

  • a) means allowing a crew member to select a landing way of the airport, that will be used during the landing are provided;

    b) amongst the possible approaches, an approach for the landing on said selected landing way is automatically selected, that is generally one approach;

    which presents the lowest decision height; and

    which is technically likely to be implemented by the aircraft, by checking if detection means likely to detect signals that have to be used during this approach, are available on board the aircraft, and if these detection means suitably detect said signals; and

    c) the thus selected approach for the activation of an approach which will effectively be implemented by the aircraft is used.
