French term or phrase: confondue
Context:
La direction horizontale X-X’ s’étend entre l’aéronef 10 et la zone d’atterrissage 18 dans un plan horizontal. Ainsi, comme visible sur la figure 3, la direction horizontale X-X’ est confondue avec la direction longitudinale lorsque l’aéronef 10 est orienté vers la zone d’atterrissage 18.

Not sure whether confused is OK in this context.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA Chris.

Explanation:
I am also perfectly fine with "coincides with". That's the idea: the aircraft is horizontal, so its longitudinal and the horizontal are the same direction.

Cyril should suggest it as an answer!

concurrent, convergent or converging


Explanation:
Another approach:

Thus, as seen in Figure 3, the horizontal direction X-X' is concurrent to the longitudinal direction when the aircraft 10 is facing the landing area 18
or
Thus, as seen in Figure 3, the horizontal direction X-X' is converging to the longitudinal direction when the aircraft 10 is facing the landing area 18
