ABSTRACT:
Flight information display apparatus and methods compute and display maneuver space (MS) target or ownship aircraft and conflict regions (CR) with surrounding obstacles such as traffic, weather, and terrain. The display utilizes coordinates based upon heading and altitude, and optionally also upon ground speed. Capability for selecting non-conflicting maneuvers and executing the maneuvers may be built in.
