Abstract:
1. A method of displaying flight information for an aircraft, said method comprising the steps of: storing data associated with the aircraft in a memory device; receiving a first user defined airspeed related to a first aspect of flight of an aircraft; calculating a first calculated airspeed related to the first aspect of flight based on the data associated with the aircraft; determining a first user defined static position at which the aircraft should achieve the first user defined airspeed with respect to a starting position of the aircraft; determining a first calculated static position at which the aircraft should achieve the first calculated airspeed with respect to the starting position of the aircraft; calculating the difference between the first user defined static position and the first calculated static position; and displaying a first position difference indicator indicating the difference between the first user defined static position and the first calculated static position.
