Patent ID: 8271186

Claim:
Synthetic vision type viewing system SVS, for a first aircraft, said viewing system comprising: position sensors of said first aircraft, an air traffic detection system configured to calculating a position and dangerousness of at least one second aircraft presenting a risk of collision with said first aircraft based on data obtained from recognition sensors, an electronic computer, a human-machine interface device, a database, and a display screen, wherein the computer comprises a processing unit configured to process different information obtained from the database, from the position sensors and from the interface device the processing unit is further configured to provide the display screen with a synthetic image of a space surrounding the first aircraft in a 360-degree sector, said image includes a first symbol representation representing the first aircraft and centered on the synthetic image, a second representation representing a trajectory of said second aircraft and comprising a set of symbols representative of a past trajectory including different positions occupied in the space by the second aircraft at different instants of the past trajectory, and a third representation representing a protection area situated around the first aircraft, wherein the first representation representing the first aircraft is centered on the third representation representing the protection area in the 360-degree sector.
