A method for establishing a flight plan for an aircraft by: determining a correction factor F1 related to a degradation in performance of the aircraft; using, to establish the flight plan, a model of the aircraft that incorporates a lower heating value of a reference fuel; obtaining a correction factor F2 related to a difference in lower heating value between the reference fuel and a fuel intended to be used to follow the flight plan; modifying the correction factor F1 by adding the correction factor F2; and determining the flight plan using the model of the aircraft, to which the modified correction factor F1 is given at input. It is thus possible to use an aircraft model in which the lower heating value is fixed internally.
