1. A method to assist piloting of an aircraft, according to which a trajectory pointer representing a current flight trajectory vector and a pitch pointer indicating a current pitch angle value are shown on a pitch scale of a display screen, including the following steps: determining a pitch angle limiting value representative of a maximum admissible angle of attack, depending on a set of flight parameters and aircraft configurations, and displaying on the pitch scale of the display screen a maximum angle of attack pointer indicating the pitch angle limiting value and a dynamic safety envelope indicator, wherein the dynamic safety envelope indicator includes a graphical representation such that the maximum angle of attack pointer and trajectory pointer form upper and lower limits, respectively, with two vertical lines, each vertical line extending from an end of the maximum angle of attack pointer toward the trajectory pointer and the dynamic safety envelope being representative of a normal flight of the aircraft; wherein the display of one of the maximum angle of attack pointer and the said dynamic safety envelope indicator is shown using different colors, including a first color representing a normal flight situation, a second color representing a situation where a stall is imminent, and a third color representing a stall. 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the relative position and extent of the dynamic safety envelope indicator relative to the pitch scale change as the flight parameters and configurations of the aircraft change. 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein the flight parameters include the Mach number and the pitch rate. 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein one of the maximum angle of attack pointer and the dynamic safety envelope indicator are displayed automatically as soon as the aircraft enters a stall. 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein in normal flight one of the maximum angle of attack pointer and the dynamic safety envelope indicator is displayed at the pilot's request. 6. A method according to claim 1 wherein the stall is accompanied by a display of directional arrows pointing in the direction from the pitch pointer towards the interior of the said dynamic safety envelope indicator. 7. A method according to claim 1, wherein one of the maximum angle of attack pointer and of the dynamic safety envelope indicator remains displayed after coming out of the stall, until the pilot decides to no longer display it. 8. A method according to claim 1, further including displaying roll control signals to re-establish the lateral stability of the aircraft one of after the aircraft comes out of the stall, and when the aircraft is not in a stall. 9. A method according to claim 1, further including displaying on the display screen a replacement speed scale in the event of a malfunction of a habitual speed indicator. 10. A system to assist piloting of an aircraft, including a display screen showing a pitch scale, where a trajectory pointer represents a current flight trajectory vector and a pitch pointer indicating a current pitch angle value, comprising: an algorithmic module to determine a pitch angle limiting value representative of a maximum admissible angle of attack, depending on a set of flight parameters and aircraft configurations, and the algorithmic module to display on the said pitch scale of the display screen a maximum angle of attack pointer indicating the said pitch angle limiting value and dynamic safety envelope indicator, wherein the dynamic safety envelope indicator includes a graphical representation such that the maximum angle of attack pointer and trajectory pointer form upper and lower limits, respectively, with two vertical lines, each vertical line extending from an end of the maximum angle of attack pointer toward the trajectory pointer and the dynamic safety envelope being representative of a normal flight of the aircraft; wherein the display of one of the maximum angle of attack pointer and the said dynamic safety envelope indicator is shown using different colors, including a first color representing a normal flight situation, a second color representing a situation where a stall is imminent, and a third color representing a stall. 11. An aircraft including a system to assist piloting according to claim 10.
