A system for assisting formation flight, on board a follower aircraft, determines an estimated position of a wake vortex generated by a leader aircraft and inducing an upward airflow. The system determines a first trajectory, intended to be followed by the follower aircraft, as a trajectory for approaching and tracking the wake vortex, while remaining outside a potential discomfort window. The system determines a second trajectory corresponding to a phantom aircraft as if the follower aircraft is permanently in an optimal position relative to the wake vortex. The system assesses future overshoots of the phantom aircraft relative to maneuvering capabilities of the follower aircraft and to passenger comfort rules. The system possibly modifies the first trajectory as a function of the assessed overshoots.
