Abstract
A system may include a display and a processor communicatively coupled to the display. The processor may be configured to: generate a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft when the aircraft is performing taxi operations and when the aircraft is on ground, wherein the SVS taxi mode exocentric view includes at least one range ring centered around a depiction of the aircraft, each of the at least one range ring providing a visual indication of a given range between the aircraft and a given range ring; and output, to the display, the SVS taxi mode exocentric view. The display may be configured to: display the SVS taxi mode exocentric view.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- at least one display;
- and
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the display, the at least one processor configured to:
- generate a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft when the aircraft is performing taxi operations and when the aircraft is on ground, wherein the SVS taxi mode exocentric view includes at least one range ring centered around a depiction of the aircraft, each of the at least one range ring providing a visual indication of a given range between the aircraft and a given range ring;
- and
- output, to the at least one display, the SVS taxi mode exocentric view;
- wherein the at least one display is configured to:
- display the SVS taxi mode exocentric view.
A method, comprising:
- generating, by at least one processor communicatively coupled to at least one display, a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft when the aircraft is performing taxi operations and when the aircraft is on ground, wherein the SVS taxi mode exocentric view includes at least one range ring centered around a depiction of the aircraft, each of the at least one range ring providing a visual indication of a given range between the aircraft and a given range ring;
- outputting, by the at least one processor to the at least one display, the SVS taxi mode exocentric view;
- and
- displaying, by the at least one display, the SVS taxi mode exocentric view.
