The system includes a module for monitoring whether a pilot controls the aircraft, a module for updating the flight plan based on a pilot-provided approach order, modules implemented if no pilot controls the aircraft, including a module for monitoring whether an approach order signal is sent by a ground control device, a module for verifying compatibility of the ground control device approach order, a module for updating the flight plan based on the approach order if there is safety compatibility, a module for updating the flight plan based on an approach order determined based on current data if no approach order is received by the aircraft or if the approach order received by the aircraft does not have safety compatibility. The system provides for updating the flight plan for a landing in good conditions, even without an approach order from the pilot or from the ground control device.
