A method of assessing safety of a trajectory of units under test over a flight range includes: setting a mission trajectory of a unit under test, wherein nominal and dispersion trajectories of the unit under test are within a delineated area; extracting from the mission trajectory a plurality of initial conditions of the unit under test; for each extracted initial condition, simulating a malfunction, and calculating an orientation of the unit under test following each simulated malfunction using an orientation transfer function of the unit under test to simulate a malfunction maneuver. The method further includes, on the basis of this calculated orientation for each simulated malfunction, determining an impact point of the unit under test with a particular plane.
