Claim 13:
14. A device for visualizing an effect of wind on aircraft travel, the device comprising:
a determination circuit for determining at least one wind speed and wind direction for a predefined airspace,
an identification circuit for identifying predefined travel routes of a plurality of aircraft within the predefined airspace, wherein each of the predefined travel routes define a route for the respective aircraft of the plurality of aircraft when approaching an airfield,
a calculation circuit for calculating reference distances flown by each aircraft along route segments of its travel routes in a predefined reference time interval, wherein the calculation circuit is configured to perform the calculation such that the calculating uses:
at least one air speed of the respective aircraft at the respective route segment,
the determined wind speed, and
the determined wind direction,

a display device for visualizing the predefined travel routes or the route segments to an air traffic controller, wherein the display device is provided for use to the air traffic controller, and
a controller for indicating said reference distance on the visualized predefined travel routes or route segments.
