1. A method for controlling an aircraft, wherein said method is at least partially implemented by a generation system embedded on board the aircraft, said method comprising:
receiving a first initial data item stored in a first database, the first database presenting a first predefined level of integrity, called initial level of integrity;
receiving a second initial data item stored in a second database, the second database presenting said initial level of integrity, the first database being dissimilar with respect to the second database;
comparing, by at least one predetermined comparison function, at least one first trajectory data item relating to the first initial data item with at least one second trajectory data item relating to the second initial data item, to obtain a comparison result;
obtaining a trajectory element as a function of the comparison result, and as a function of at least one of the first trajectory data item and the second trajectory data item, the trajectory element presenting a second predefined level of integrity, called target level of integrity, the target level of integrity being strictly greater than said initial level of integrity; and
controlling the aircraft according to the trajectory element.
