SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZING AN ASSUMED LATERAL AND VERTICAL FLIGHT PATH ON AN AVIONIC DISPLAY

Abstract:

A flight display system for providing a visualization of an assumed lateral and vertical flight path on an avionic display for an aircraft performing energy management during an approach procedure, and methods for producing the same. The system improves upon available human-machine interfaces (HMI) by providing information not otherwise available; that being, a visualization of an assumed lateral and vertical flight path to assist the flight crew in making adjustments to the configuration of the aircraft when the aircraft is making an approach to an airport.
