20. A display system for an aircraft having a nose and a windshield during a landing operation onto a runway, comprising:
-
a processing unit configured to determine a visual segment for the aircraft based on the nose of the aircraft and to determine runway references associated with the runway, the processing unit further configured to generate display commands based on the visual segment, the runway references, and the windshield; and a display device coupled the processing unit and configured to receive the display commands and to display symbology representing the visual segment as a visual segment marker, the runway references as runway reference markers, and the aircraft as an aircraft symbol to indicate the relative positions of the visual segment, the runway references, and the aircraft, the display device further configured to display symbology representing the windshield and an arrow indicating a direction of the visual segment relative to the windshield.
