Air vehicle navigation method comprising the following steps: a) establishing initial conditions; b) establishing constraints; c) editing an aircraft trajectory, and; d) flying the air vehicle; wherein editing an aircraft trajectory comprises: i) determining a number of degrees of freedom; ii) establishing as many trajectory threads as degrees of freedom, wherein each thread comprises a series of instruction nodes comprising instructions; iii) determining, for each thread, the instructions satisfying the flight constraints; iv) determining the validity of each instruction in each thread; v) establishing a trigger node associated to each instruction node in each thread, wherein each trigger determines the end of validity of the instruction to which it is associated and the start of validity of the next instruction within the thread; vi) putting in order the instructions and triggers, so that when flying the air vehicle, the latter satisfies all flight constraints at every stage throughout the flight.
