CONTROL UNIT FOR AN AIRCRAFT CAPABLE OF HOVERING OR FOR A FLIGHT SIMULATION SYSTEM OF SAID AIRCRAFT, AND RELATIVE METHOD FOR ASSISTING THE PERFORMANCE OF A MANOEUVRE

A control unit (46, 46') for an aircraft (1, 1') capable of hovering or for a flight simulation system of the aircraft (1, 1') is described; the control unit (46, 46') is programmed to: - receive in input a plurality of data associated with equipment (15) and/or kits (25) actually installed or simulated on the aircraft (1, 1') and/or with the operating configuration of the equipment (15) and/or kits (25); the equipment (15) and/or kits (25) causing a reduction of the actual or simulated forward velocity of the aircraft (1, 1'); - store a table (TX) defining a correspondence between each datum and a respective value of a first signal (Vmax, Vmax') associated with a value of maximum forward velocity of the aircraft (1, 1'); and - display the lowest of the first signals (Vmax, Vmax').
