ABSTRACT:
An aircraft navigational facilitation system (20) and method of use thereof operates in conjunction with conventional apparatus which provides aircraft current situational information. The system includes a memory (22) for storing runway and landing information for each of a plurality runways. An input device, such as a keyboard (24), is provided for selecting a destination runway. The system further includes a video display device (28) which simulates the view from a cockpit of the aircraft, with the view including the destination runway. The video display device is driven by a processor (26) which uses the current situational information and the runway information for periodically generating display signals for the video display device. The display signals cause the video display to provide an updated and scaled simulated three dimensional view of a perimeter of the destination runway from a perspective of the cockpit of the aircraft. The video display device also provides further information including runway identification information, runway centerline, and an indication of a projected touch down point of the aircraft relative to the perimeter of the destination runway.
