Abstract
A flying method using total power, in particular for the take-off and overshoot of an aircraft, is disclosed in which the aerodynamic gradient .gamma.a is governed by reference to a desired gradient .gamma.d which is the total gradient .gamma.t modulated by the difference between the aircraft speed V and a reference speed V.sub.2. An error signal .delta. representative of the difference between the aerodynamic gradient .gamma.a and the desired gradient .gamma.d is displayed. The display of the desired gradient .gamma.d may be by means of the pitching tendency bar of an artificial horizon for example.
