1. A method for determining a plurality of performance indicators relating to the flight of an aircraft to an arrival location, the method being applied by an electronic device, the aircraft comprising a memory configured to store a flight plan of the aircraft and a predetermined value of an intended amount of consumed fuel during the flight, the flight plan including an intended arrival time at the arrival location, the method comprising:

  • calculating a first performance indicator based on;

    i) an estimated time of arrival of the aircraft at the arrival location, ii) an estimated flight time of the aircraft from its take-off until its arrival at the arrival location, and iii) an estimated amount of fuel consumed by the aircraft up to the arrival location; and

    calculating at least one other performance indicator among second and third performance indicators,wherein the second performance indicator is calculated based on a time difference between the estimated arrival time and the intended arrival time, andwherein the third performance indicator is calculated based on;

    i) a consumption difference between the estimated amount of consumed fuel and the intended amount of consumed fuel and ii) at least one additional quantity among the following;
