20. A display system for an aircraft, comprising:
-
a processing unit configured to receive weather information associated with a flight path of a flight plan and to generate display commands based on the weather information, wherein the flight plan includes a first waypoint and wherein the weather information includes wind direction, wind speed, and temperature at each of a first altitude at the first waypoint and a second altitude at the first waypoint; a user interface coupled to the processing unit and configured to select the first waypoint to selectively display the weather information; and a display device coupled to the processing unit and configured to receive the display commands and to display symbology representing the weather information, wherein the display device includes a vertical situation display view including the wind direction, wind speed, and temperature at the first altitude at the first waypoint and the wind direction, wind speed, and temperature at the second altitude at the first waypoint.
