Aircraft surface operations guidance on head up display

摘要

The present invention is a method and system of aircraft surface operations guidance on a head up display. An aircraft surface operations guidance method includes the following steps. At time t₁, a taxi guidance cue and a trend vector are displayed on a head up display of an aircraft. The taxi guidance cue represents a desired position of an aircraft control point of the aircraft at time t₂. The trend vector represents a predicted path of the aircraft control point from time t₁ to time t₂ based on a state of the aircraft at time t₁. The trend vector includes a tip representing a predicted position of the aircraft control point at time t₂. The tip is maintained within the taxi guidance cue so that the aircraft control point may reach the desired position at time t₂.
