ABSTRACT:
A system and methods for managing a visual display in a ground proximity warning system is disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes at least one aircraft sensor system operable to acquire aircraft data and a ground proximity warning computer coupled to the aircraft sensor system that is operable to process the aircraft data to generate ground proximity warning data corresponding to a sensed ground obstruction. An indicating system including at least one visual display device that is configured to display an image of a visual symbol corresponding to the sensed ground obstruction is coupled to the computer. At least one of the computer and the visual display device is controllable to selectively alter an appearance of the visual symbol on the display.
