1. A method for assisting the piloting of an aerodyne and implemented by a system including a processor, at least one man/machine communication terminal comprising a display screen and control and data entry keys and memories where are stored in particular all data useful to operating a flight and that required to conduct a flight in accordance with air regulations, the system being connected to other items of electronic equipment embarked on the aerodyne, wherein said method includes the following stages:

  • entering and classifying said data in the memories in the form of a data base in which links are established between each of possible contexts of said aerodyne and data most suitably adapted to said context, each of said links being associated with an order of relevance with respect to the linked context, the operator being provided by the terminal with first means for exploiting these data;

    acquiring in real time by said processor all data sent by said other items of electronic equipment, said sent data determining a current context of said aerodyne;

    preselecting by said processor from the data base the data which are linked to the current context and classifying said preselected data by using said orders of relevance associated with said links;

    providing the operator through said terminal with second means for exploiting the preselected classified data;

    selecting by the operator one of the exploitation means and one portion of said preselected data; and

    exploiting on the display screen by the operator the portion of the preselected data with the aid of the selected exploitation means.
