METHOD FOR PILOT ASSISTANCE FOR THE LANDING OF AN AIRCRAFT IN RESTRICTED VISIBILITY
First Claim
1. A method for pilot assistance in landing an aircraft with restricted visibility, in which the position of a landing point is defined by at least one of a motion-compensated, aircraft-based helmet sight system and a remotely controlled camera during a landing approach, and with the landing point being displayed on a ground surface in the at least one of the helmet sight system and the remotely controlled camera by production of symbols that conform with the outside view, the method comprising:
- one of producing or calculating during an approach, a ground surface based on measurement data from an aircraft-based 3D sensor; and
providing both the 3D measurement data of the ground surface and a definition of the landing point with reference to a same aircraft-fixed coordinate system.

Abstract
Method for pilot assistance in landing an aircraft with restricted visibility, in which the position of a landing point is defined by at least one of a motion compensated, aircraft based helmet sight system and a remotely controlled camera during a landing approach, and with the landing point is displayed on a ground surface in the at least one of the helmet sight system and the remotely controlled camera by production of symbols that conform with the outside view. The method includes one of producing or calculating during an approach, a ground surface based on measurement data from an aircraft based 3D sensor, and providing both the 3D measurement data of the ground surface and a definition of the landing point with reference to a same aircraft fixed coordinate system.

14. A method to assist landing an aircraft in an area of limited visibility comprising:
-
focusing on a landing point via one of a helmet system and a camera; measuring a line of sight to the landing point; 3 dimensionally measuring an area that includes the landing point; displaying symbols corresponding to an intersection of the line of sight and the 3 dimensionally measured area in the one of the helmet system and the camera. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
