ABSTRACT:
In a method and an apparatus for displaying flight management information for an aircraft, a three-dimensional display of the flight space with at least one horizon and the predicted flight path of the aircraft is effected by means of an image reproduction device. The predicted flight path is preferably displayed as a series of symbols which assume, within the flight space displayed, the predicted position and the predicted altitude of the aircraft with respect to the flight space at different points in time.
