1. A method for automatically monitoring a flight management assembly for an aircraft implementing air operations requiring navigation and guidance performance, said assembly (2) comprising a first flight management system (4), of the master type, operating in dual mode with a second flight management system (5), of the slave type, and, in the case of the detection of an obligation to implement an operation affecting its flight plane, emits, to said second flight management system (5), a request requiring to carry out at least one operation affecting the flight plane of the latter, which method wherein, if said method is activated, upon the emission of such a request, the following operations are implemented:

  • a) means (22) check that conditions for implementing said request are met; and

    b) as a function of this check;

    if said conditions are met, said second flight management system (5) carries out the operation requested by this request and the two flight management systems (4, 5) continue to operate in dual mode; and

    if said conditions are not met, said second flight management system (5) does not carry out the operation requested by this request, the two flight management systems (4, 5) will operate in an independent mode, and a warning signal is emitted.
