Abstract
An aircraft display system includes a display; and a unit for generating display on the display, suitable for dynamically displaying on the display at least one horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector symbol. When approaching a landing strip, the display generating unit is suitable for displaying, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol, defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for the flare.

An aircraft display system for an aircraft, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a display generator configured to dynamically display on the display a horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector;
- the display generator being configured to display, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol when approaching a landing strip, the flare floor symbol defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for a flare of the aircraft,
- wherein the display generator is configured to determine a nominal flare control law defining a vertical speed increase profile during the flare, a position of the flare floor symbol being defined according to the nominal flare control law, with an offset with respect to the nominal flare control law.
An aircraft display system for an aircraft, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a display generator configured to dynamically display on the display a horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector;
- the display generator being configured to display, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol when approaching a landing strip, the flare floor symbol defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for a flare of the aircraft,
- wherein a vertical offset of the flare floor symbol with respect to the horizon line is defined according to a nominal flare control law, a set point of the nominal flare control law being between the flare floor symbol and the horizon line.
An aircraft display system for an aircraft, comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a display generator configured to dynamically display on the display a horizon line, a slope scale with respect to the horizon line, and a velocity vector;
- the display generator being configured to display, below the horizon line, a flare floor symbol when approaching a landing strip, the flare floor symbol defining, along with the horizon line, a range of possible slope values for a flare of the aircraft,
- wherein the display generator is configured to display a flare initiation symbol, located above the flare floor symbol, the display generator being configured to define with a velocity vector symbol, a position for a recommended start of flare.
