Abstract
A method for displaying a separation time interval of at least one of a plurality of objects approaching a reference includes estimating a transit time of the at least one of the plurality of objects assigned to a corresponding first path to the reference, determining the separation time interval for the at least one object, and forming a time line axis. The method further includes displaying a representation of the at least one object aligned relative to the time line axis for indicating the estimated transit time, and displaying the separation time interval.

A method for displaying a separation time interval of at least one of a plurality of objects approaching a reference comprising:
- estimating a transit time of the at least one of the plurality of objects assigned to a corresponding first path to the reference;
- determining the separation time interval for the at least one object;
- displaying a time line axis which includes the estimated transit time of the at least one of the plurality of objects;
- displaying a representation of the at least one object aligned relative to the time line axis for indicating the estimated transit time;
- and
- displaying the separation time interval.
A multiple approach time domain spacing aid display system comprising:
- an object location and trajectory information interface;
- a transit time estimator coupled to said object location and trajectory information interface;
- and
- a situation display coupled to said transit time estimator for displaying an estimated transit time within a terminal air space.
