Disclosed is a method and system for avoiding collision between an aircraft A and an intruder aircraft. The method and system involve determining avoidance presets to avoid a collision between the aircraft A and the intruder aircraft, in which the avoidance presets comprise a vertical speed preset. The presets are determined from avoidance information received from an anticollision system, and the determined avoidance presets are transmitted to at least one guidance device that guides the aircraft A based on the avoidance presets.
