1. A navigation aid method for determining, by an instruction giver, the path of an aircraft initially following a predetermined path in an approach phase and upon which are defined a safety altitude and an alarm limit, said aircraft comprising a navigation system of an Inertial Navigation System/Global Navigation Satellite System (INS/GNSS) type comprising a satellite navigation receiver and at least one inertial unit, said method comprising: determining a current position of the aircraft;determining a future path of the aircraft from the current position;estimating a predicted protection radii on the future path, starting at a calculation time in a case of a critical situation, in terms of a loss of GNSS position information, which starts at the calculation time;calculating a limit time after which the predicted protection radius is greater than or equal to the alarm limit;calculating a limit extraction time that corresponds to a maximum time after which the aircraft must leave the predetermined path in order to be able to reach the safety altitude by the time limit; andtransmitting the value of the limit extraction time to the instruction giver. 2. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, wherein the critical situation is a situation in which the satellite navigation information is lost starting from the calculation time. 3. The navigation aid method according to claim 2, further comprising estimating the predicted protection radii by propagation of the inertial errors onto the future path. 4. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, wherein the navigation system is of a hybrid type. 5. The navigation aid method according to claim 4, wherein the instruction giver is a pilot or an automatic pilot system. 6. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, further comprising transmitting the value of the limit time to the instruction giver. 7. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, wherein the predicted protection radii on the future path are predetermined. 8. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, further comprising calculating the predicted protection radii on the future path at the given time. 9. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, wherein the future path is the remaining portion of the predetermined path at the calculation time. 10. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, wherein the future path is the path, starting at the calculation time, which is the most restricting for the critical situation in question. 11. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, further comprising calculating the predicted protection radii from predicted horizontal and/or predicted vertical protection radii on the future path. 12. The navigation aid method according to claim 1, further comprising: calculating the alarm limit for a first level of integrity;calculating the protection radii for a second level of integrity;calculating the predicted protection radii for a third level of integrity, wherein the second level of integrity is at least equal to the first level of integrity; andthe third level of integrity is either equal to the first level of integrity, or equal to the second level of integrity, or dependent on the integrity related to the critical situation in question. 13. A navigation system configured to perform the method of claim 1. 14. An aircraft equipped with a navigation system of claim 13.
