ABSTRACT:
An aircraft flight control display for orientation of the pilot during an approach of the aircraft toward a destination has a center of the display as its fixed point. An aircraft symbol with a center depicts the longitudinal axis as well as a lateral line to depict the current attitude of the aircraft. A destination position symbol has a reference line and a position symbol, with a skyline having a center. The destination position symbol is located at a distance from the center and its reference line points to the center as the reference point. The destination position symbol is rotated around the reference point dependent on the relative position of the aircraft's direction or the flight direction to the desired destination direction.
