Abstract:
A predictive flight path symbology system for increasing pilot situational awareness of an aircraft. The system includes a pilot display, and a precision pathway flight guidance (PPFG) symbology set displayed on the pilot display. The PPFG symbology set includes broken line symbols representing an open tunnel and providing flow field data, a half-bracket symbol to indicate that the aircraft is no longer in the open tunnel represented by the broken line symbols, and a quickened flight path vector (QFPV) symbol to provide the pilot with predictive flight path information.
