Zusammenfassung: | A method for flight path control of an aircraft in which boundaries of an airspace authorized for a mission of the aircraft are defined, which boundariesa) include a hard boundary, which delimits an area forbidden to the aircraft, andb1) a warning boundary, at which safety measures are initiated when reached by the aircraft, and/orb2) a soft boundary, at which emergency measures are initiated. To calculate a location of the warning and/or soft boundary, parameters of an actual flight status of the aircraft, such as speed, altitude, path angle or other factors, for example wind and/or weather conditions, are continuously determined and dynamically taken into consideration by a computer-assisted flight path controller of the aircraft and/or by an external controller. The aircraft-located and/or external controller subsequently checks whether the aircraft presently or in future infringes the mentioned boundaries at its current position. |
