- Method and system for adjusting the descent trajectory of an aircraft. - The system (1) comprises an adjustment unit (2) installed in the aircraft and configured to adjust a descent trajectory and associated prediction calculations as a function of an adjustment parameter, said system (1) moreover comprising information processing units (15, 20, 22, 25) for automatically calculating, on the ground and from recorded flight data, an effective value of a calculation parameter, and a corresponding theoretical value of the calculation parameter, with the help of an auxiliary performance database (23) which is identical to a performance database (3) installed in the aircraft, for identical flight conditions, and for deriving therefrom the adjustment parameter that will be used subsequently by the adjustment unit (2).
