System for guiding an aircraft to a reference point in low visibility conditions

A system comprising:

• a flight route calculator configured to determine a desired flight route of an aircraft, based on a desired maneuver;
• a display configured to present to a pilot, on a display, at least one 3D visual symbol that is positioned in a future desired location and a desired orientation along the desired flight route and moves at a desired momentary speed and a desired orientation relative to the earth, wherein the desired momentary speed and the desired orientation are determined based on the desired maneuver;
• and
• a processing unit configured to compute an updated desired route based on repeatedly updated environmental conditions and aircraft flight data that include at least one of:
• current location and current speed and orientation of the aircraft,
• wherein the display is further configured to repeat the presenting of the at least one 3D visual symbol with an updated desired position and an updated desired momentary speed and updated desired orientation,
• wherein movements of said 3D visual symbol resemble movements of another aircraft in an aircraft formation and wherein said 3D symbol serves as a dynamic point of reference for said pilot, resembling following a real lead aircraft in said aircraft formation.
