The appliance includes a touch screen and wireless data transmission implementation for communicating with the drone. Drone piloting commands are activated by fingers contacting and/or moving over locations of corresponding piloting symbols displayed on the screen. The method proceeds by: detecting finger contact at an arbitrary contact point in at least one predefined zone of the screen on which piloting symbols are not already displayed; displaying a piloting icon on the screen at the contact point, the piloting icon including a movable icon displayed at a position that tracks any movement of the finger contact point over the screen from an initial position to an offset position; detecting the movement of the movable icon; on detecting the movement, analyzing the direction and/or the amplitude of the movement relative to the initial position; and activating a piloting command as a function of the result of the analysis.
