The present disclosure provides a computer implemented method of providing an indicator useful for piloting an aircraft. The aircraft includes an antenna configured to communicate with a transceiver. The method includes obtaining an antenna envelope characterizing directions relative to the aircraft for which a directive gain of the antenna exceeds a predetermined threshold; determining a direction of the transceiver relative to the aircraft; calculating a maneuvering range of the aircraft by comparing the antenna envelope and the transceiver direction, in which the maneuvering range indicates eligible orientations of the aircraft for maintaining the transceiver within the antenna envelope; and outputting data indicating the maneuvering range. |
