A method of monitoring a flight management assembly comprising two flight management systems, one which is active and another which is passive, and a monitoring and backup unit,
- wherein the monitoring method comprises successive steps at least comprising:
- a step of generation of data comprising at least one trajectory and at least one prediction of a parameter of the aircraft, used by at least the flight management system which is active;
- a monitoring step, implemented by the monitoring and backup unit, comprising carrying out at least a monitoring of at least one of items of data generated by the active flight management system in order to verify if an item of data is valid;
- a synchronization step comprising carrying out, in case of the monitored item of data being identified as valid, a synchronization of the monitoring and backup unit and of the passive flight management system, with synchronization data of the active flight management system corresponding to the item of data identified as valid, and
- a computation step comprising computing guidance commands based on the item of data identified as valid.
