First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of conveying missed approach procedures to a pilot, comprising the steps of:
- rendering a graphic representation of at least one leg of the missed approach procedure on a display;
determining, in a processor, whether the aircraft is at least substantially flying the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure; and
selectively varying, in response to one or more commands from the processor, at least one visual characteristic of the rendered graphic representation of the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure based on the determination of whether the aircraft is at least substantially flying the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure,wherein;
the missed approach procedure comprises a plurality of legs; and
the rendered graphic includes a plurality of icons, each icon representative of one of the plurality of legs of the missed approach procedure.

Abstract
A system and method of conveying missed approach procedures to a pilot are provided. The system and method include rendering a graphic representation of at least one leg of the missed approach procedure on a display. A determination is made as to whether the aircraft is at least substantially flying the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure. At least one visual characteristic of the rendered graphic is selectively varied based on the determination of whether the aircraft is at least substantially flying the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure.

11. A display system for conveying missed approach procedures to a pilot, comprising:
-
a display configured to render a graphic representation of at least one leg of the missed approach procedure; and a processor coupled to the display, the processor configured to (i) command the display device to render the graphic representation of the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure and (ii) determine whether the aircraft is at least substantially flying the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure and, in response to the determination, to selectively command the display to vary at least one visual characteristic of the graphic representation of the at least one leg of the missed approach procedure rendered on the display, wherein; the missed approach procedure comprises a plurality of legs; and the rendered graphic includes a plurality of icons, each icon representative of one of the plurality of legs of the missed approach procedure. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
