International ClassG08G 005/04Foreign Application Priority Data1993-05-05 DEAbstractAccording to a method for representing information for guiding the flight of an aircraft, the airspace with at least one horizon and the precalculated flight path of the aircraft are three-dimensionally represented by means of an image display device and means for positioning one or several aircraft therein are provided. The aircraft symbols are merged into the representation of the airspace. Preferably, the other aircraft are each represented by a symbol corresponding to their position in the airspace and by at least one line represented in perspective from the point of view of the aircraft concerned.Field of SearchNonalarm flight indicatorRunway presentation Indicator of at least four flight parameters (altitude, speed, etc.) Attitude Roll or pitch Glide slope or path Potential collision with other aircraft Indicator visible in pilot's line of sight through windscreen Attitude (including yaw, angle of attack, roll, pitch, glide slope) Wind shear Altitude Altitude Speed Heading (includes deviation from desired course) AIRCRAFT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM (CAS) AIRCRAFT LANDING SYSTEM RELATIVE LOCATION Collision avoidance Traffic analysis or control of aircraft Aeronautical vehicle Warning signal or alarm Flight condition indicating system With indication or control of take-off With indication or control of landing | |
