COCKPIT DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING NAVIGATION DISPLAYS INCLUDING LANDING DIVERSION SYMBOLOGY
First Claim
1. A cockpit display system for deployment onboard an aircraft, the cockpit display system comprising:
- a cockpit monitor; and
a controller coupled to the cockpit display system and configured to;
assess the current feasibility of landing at one or more diversion airports in a range of the aircraft;
assign each diversion airport to one of a plurality of predetermined landing feasibility categories; and
generate a horizontal navigation display on the cockpit monitor including symbology representative of the feasibility category assigned to one or more of the diversion airports.

Abstract
Cockpit display systems and methods for generating navigation displays including landing diversion symbology are provided. In one embodiment, the cockpit display system includes a cockpit monitor and a controller coupled to the cockpit monitor. The controller is configured to assess the current feasibility of landing at one or more diversion airports in a range of an aircraft on which the cockpit display system is deployed. The controller is further configured to assign each diversion airport to one of a plurality of predetermined landing feasibility categories, and generate a horizontal navigation display on the cockpit monitor including symbology representative of the feasibility category assigned to one or more of the diversion airports.
