Methods and systems to accurately display lateral deviation symbology in offset approaches to runways

摘要

Systems and methods to accurately display lateral deviation symbology in offset approaches to runways is provided. A system for on-aircraft display of lateral deviation symbology for use in offset approaches comprises means for generating a conformal video display representation of an aircraft's current position, means for notifying a flight crew of the existence of an offset approach, means for displaying an extended runway center line, and means for displaying an approach line.

主权项

1. A method for displaying lateral deviation symbology in offset approaches on a display associated with an aircraft, the method comprising:
displaying an extended runway center line on the display, the extended runway center line corresponding to a center line of a runway; and displaying an approach line on the display, the approach line being based on one or more position points derived from signals corresponding to an offset approach to the runway received by the aircraft, wherein the approach line is offset from the extended runway center line such that the approach line provides a visual indication of the degree of offset between the offset approach and the center line of the runway.
