Aircraft process and device for assisting parachute drops

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The device (1) to guide an aircraft on at least an intermediary flight path between a first flight path at low altitude and a second flight path which begins at an initial point and from which a parachute drop takes place includes the means (9) to determine a transition point that is on the first flight path and which represents the beginning of the intermediary flight path corresponding to the point where the aircraft must divert from the first flight path to reach the initial point in pre-determined flight conditions and also includes the means (13A, 13B) using the transition point to help guide the aircraft between the first and second flight paths.
