1. A system for traffic prioritization of surrounding air traffic for display onboard an aircraft, the display being associated with a user input that receives user input with respect to the display, the system comprising:

  • a traffic data source configured to supply surrounding traffic data, the surrounding traffic data including at least a range of the surrounding air traffic relative to the aircraft and a vertical speed of the surrounding air traffic;

    a traffic control module coupled to receive user selection data from the user input device and the surrounding traffic data from the traffic data source, the traffic control module, configured, upon receipt of the user input device and the surrounding traffic data, to generate a prioritization zone for prioritizing the surrounding air traffic to identify air traffic preceding the aircraft based on the user selection data, the range of the surrounding air traffic relative to the aircraft and the vertical speed of the surrounding air traffic, and set first traffic data that includes the surrounding air traffic within the prioritization zone listed by priority as a preceding aircraft and second traffic data that includes the surrounding air traffic outside of the prioritization zone listed in received sequence; and

    a graphical user interface manager control module coupled to the traffic control module and configured to output a graphical user interface, for display on the display, that includes the first traffic data and the second traffic data.
