A procedure for facilitating the approach to a platform [PF] with an aircraft [1] including a construction stage [STP1] for a database [5] that includes, for each stored platform [PF], attributes that include at least one platform identifier, the coordinates of the platform, a landing height [HDECK] of a landing zone of the platform, and the radius (OR) of a circle within which the platform is inscribed. During a parameterization stage [STP2], the target platform to be reached is determined, along with a course (CRS) to be followed and a height parameter relative to a minimum decision altitude (MDA). During a construction stage [STP3], the position of an initial approach fix (IAF) is determined, along with the position of a final approach fix (FAF), an offset point (OIP), and a decision point (MAP), in response to the information and in response to the attributes.
