A method for determining and transmitting slant visibility range information for a runway at a predetermined decision altitude, including a step of acquiring, by a first aircraft, an image of a surrounding scene located outside and ahead of the aircraft, a step of analyzing the image to detect visual runway references in the image and measure distance between the aircraft and each detected runway reference, a step of transmitting slant visibility range information to the ground station, implemented by the first aircraft, the information including a distance between a visual runway reference and the aircraft measured in the analysis step if at least one runway reference has been detected, or if not information according to which no visual runway reference was able to be detected, and a step of transmitting, by the ground station, slant visibility range information associated with the runway to at least one second aircraft in flight.
