1. An electronic device for assisting in a configuration of a flight of an aircraft, the electronic device comprising:
an acquisition module configured to acquire a flight modality, previously selected by a user from a set of predefined flight modalities, the set of predefined flight modalities including, a minimum distance flown modality, an earliest arrival at destination modality, a minimum turbulence modality, a route modality with a best network connectivity, and a minimum fuel consumption modality;
a determination module configured to determine a group of avionics functional component(s) as a function of the acquired modality, each functional component presenting an elementary score for each predefined flight modality, an overall score being calculated for each possible group of components from the elementary score or scores of the components of the said group for the acquired modality, the determined group being the one having a best overall score among the calculated overall scores,
each avionics functional component being selected from the group consisting of: a takeoff condition component, a landing condition component, a taxi management component, a passenger management component, a crew management component, a flight management component, an aircraft status component, and a takeoff procedure component;
a display module configured to display information relative to each component of the determined group of avionics functional component(s),
a generation module configured to generate, via the determined group of avionics functional component(s), at least one change command relating to a flight phase of the aircraft, and
a transmission module configured to transmit each generated change command to at least one corresponding avionics system, so that the generated change command is taken into account by the avionics system.
