[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A device for aiding the piloting of an aircraft, said device comprising:first means for determining the slope and the heading of a flight path which said aircraft can take in order to join up with a preset path; andsecond means for presenting, on a display screen, a second characteristic sign, whose position on said display screen is representative both of the slope and of the heading of said flight path,wherein said first means determine the slope and the heading of the preset path of the aircraft, in that said second means present, simultaneously with said second characteristic sign, a first characteristic sign, whose position on said display screen is representative both of the slope and of the heading of said preset path, and in that said slope and said heading of the flight path are such that the distance between said first and second characteristic signs on said display screen is dependent:according to a first direction representing the heading, on the distance in a horizontal plane between the position of the aircraft and said preset path; andaccording to a second direction representing the slope, on the distance in a vertical plane between the position of the aircraft and said preset path.
