ABSTRACT:
A flight guidance system providing perspective flight guidance symbology using positioning and terrain information provides increased pilot situational awareness of an aircraft. The guidance system uses a positioning system and a detailed mapping system to provide a perspective display for use in an aircraft. A Perspective Flight Guidance (PFG) symbology set is thereby displayed on a pilot display. The PFG symbology set includes broken line symbols representing an open tunnel and providing flow field data, a half-bracket symbol to indicate that the aircraft is no longer in the open tunnel represented by the broken line symbols and a quickened flight path vector (QFPV) symbol to provide the pilot with predictive flight path information.
