Abstract:
1. A vision system for an aircraft, comprising: a database storing a position and dimensions of a target runway; a navigation system configured to determine a location of the aircraft; and a display coupled to the database and the navigation system and configured to display a conformal runway representing the target runway and a runway indicator, the conformal runway having an approach end, a departure end, a first side, and a second side, the runway indicator comprising: a landing zone on the target runway near the approach end; an outline on the approach end, departure end, first side, and second side of the runway; and a polygon having two sides with a distance therebetween greater than the width of the conformal runway; wherein the navigation system is further capable of continually modifying and emphasizing the position of the polygon based on the position of the aircraft; wherein the navigation system is further configured to display at least one deviation bar adjacent the side of the runway as a reference for determining the amount of adjustment in the position of the polygon.
