ABSTRACT:
A display for aiding the pilot of an aircraft in anomalous wind environments. Wind velocity components are measured by an instrument 11, processed by a computer 12 and a vector generator 17 and then displayed as a vector 34 on the display shown in FIG. 3. A signal F indicative of flap position selects a flight validated lift curve which is displayed as a lift curve channel 42. During normal wind conditions the cursor 35 marking the termination of vector 34 is in the channel of curve 42. However, during wind anomalies cursor 35 moves outside the channel. It then becomes the task of the pilot to control the aircraft such that cursor 35 will move back into the channel.
