Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS OF TERRAIN IN A VERTICAL SITUATION DISPLAY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006042098
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A vertical situation display ("VSD") system (300) according to the invention generates a terrain image (216) that represents a profile view of terrain elevation relative to the position of an aircraft traveling above the terrain. The VSD system (300) generates the VSD image such that the terrain image (216) is biased toward the lower elevation region (218) of the VSD screen, thus making efficient use of the available display area. The VSD image is also generated such that it is continuous across the lateral range of the VSD (206), thus ensuring that terrain is shown in the VSD (206) at all practical times, depending upon the available range and any priority display rules.
