A display device for use in a cockpit of an aircraft, configured to receive and process weather data and flight plan data, comprising: a vertical situation display, configured to display a vertical profile including weather data and flight plan data; an input unit, configured to receive an input value from an operator, wherein the input value is a flight altitude value; a processor, configured to: receive flight plan data containing at least a moving path of an aircraft; receive weather data containing at least positional information and weather characteristics belonging to said positional information; determine, based on the positional information of the weather data, which weather characteristics is located within a predetermined vertical range of the input flight altitude value; instruct the vertical situation display to display the vertical profile including those weather data which are located within the predetermined vertical range above and below the input flight altitude value together with the moving path of the aircraft of the flight plan data when the moving path of the aircraft is located within the predetermined vertical range above and below the input flight altitude value; instruct the vertical situation display to display the vertical profile including those weather data which are located within the predetermined vertical range above and below the input flight altitude value without the moving path of the aircraft when the moving path of the aircraft is located outside of the predetermined vertical range above and below the input flight altitude value; and instruct the vertical situation display to additionally display at least one element of the group consisting of the elements: strategic information weather, uplink weather, weather information from external weather data provider, onboard weather radar information, notice to airmen, aeronautical information service data, terminal area forecast, air-traffic related information. a vertical situation display, configured to display a vertical profile including weather data and flight plan data;
