Viewing device for an aircraft comprising means for displaying radio-navigation beacons and associated method

摘要

The system has an electronic computer with a processor to provide synthetic images (100) of a terrain (110) comprising a symbol (114) representing radio-navigation beacons e.g. Very High Frequency Omni directional Range beacons, on the terrain, to a display screen e.g. LCD screen. The beacons located beyond a first distance from the system are not represented. The beacons provided at a distance ranging between the distance and second distance from a carrier, are represented in symbolic form. The beacons provided at a distance less than the second distance are represented in physical form. An independent claim is also included for a method for displaying radio navigation beacons for a synthetic vision system mounted on a carrier.
