1. A device for behavior simulation of a radio navigation system, without the radio navigation system being installed on an aircraft, the device comprising:
- a position determining unit configured to determine a position of the aircraft;
a determining unit configured to automatically determine at least one radio navigation beacon of a station on the ground depending on said position of the aircraft, and a to select the radio navigation beacon of the automatically determined station on the ground;
a calculating unit configured to calculate at least one physical quantity value linked to a relative position of the aircraft relative to the beacon selected by the determining unit; and
a presenting unit configured to present, on a display device of the aircraft cockpit, the at least one physical quantity value calculated by the calculating unit and an identifier of the beacon selected by the determining unit.

Abstract
The device (405) for behavior simulation of a radio navigation system, without the latter being installed on an aircraft, comprising a means (410) for determining a position of the aircraft, characterized in that it further comprises:
- a means (415) for automatically determining at least one radio navigation beacon of a station on the ground depending on said position of the aircraft, and for selecting a radio navigation beacon of an automatically determined station on the ground,
- a means (420) for calculating at least one physical quantity value linked to the relative position of the aircraft relative to the selected beacon and
- a means (425) for presenting, on a display means of the aircraft cockpit, each calculated physical quantity value and the identifier of the selected beacon.
