1. An electronic flight management system for an aircraft, the system being intended to be carried on board the aircraft, and comprising:
an acquisition module configured to acquire at least one flight plan section, from an electronic transmitting equipment, external to the flight management system;
an insertion module configured to insert each acquired section into a current flight plan, the current flight plan including one or more current sections, and to obtain a new flight plan resulting from the insertion of the acquired section(s);
a calculation module configured to calculate a new trajectory of the aircraft from the new flight plan; and
a sending module configured to send the new trajectory to an avionics system to update flight parameters associated with a flight of the aircraft;
at least one acquired section including at least one additional constraint, each additional constraint being of a type distinct from that of the constraint(s) associated with each current section, wherein:
the calculation module being configured to calculate the new trajectory depending further on each additional constraint, and
wherein each type of additional constraint is not included in ARINC 424 standard; and wherein the avionics system comprises a display configured to displaying the new trajectory and an autopilot configured to implement the new trajectory.
