<p>An electronic display for presenting to an aircraft flight crew the combined information outputs of a vertical speed sensor and a TCAS computer aboard an aircraft. TCAS traffic advisories, i.e. the locations of other aircraft in the vicinity of the protected aircraft, are presented in a first display area of an electric display panel, preferably in PPI format, showing range, relative bearing and relative altitude, if known. Vertical speed of the protected aircraft is indicated in a second display area adjacent the first display area on the same display panel. Whenever the TCAS computer determines that a particular aircraft constitutes a collision threat and that the establishment or maintenance of a specific flight path is necessary to minimize the probability of collision, the TCAS computer issues a resolution advisory which is displayed by identifying the threatening aircraft with a characterizing symbol in the first display area and by indicating symbolically and by other distinctive visual means, such as contrasting colors, in the first and second display areas the specific flight path to be established or maintained.</p> |
