First Claim
1. A method of visually presenting aviation obstacles to an operator of an aircraft, the method comprisingreceiving a departure procedure narrative associated with a runway having a departure end;
- parsing the departure procedure narrative to determine a presence of an obstacle associated with the runway;
determining a location of the obstacle relative to the departure end of the runway from the parsed departure procedure narrative; and
displaying a graphical representation of the runway and a graphical representation of the obstacle based on the determined location relative to the departure end of the runway.

19. A system for graphically displaying departure information for an aircraft departing from a runway having a departure end, the system comprising:
-
a display device adapted to present a graphical representation of a departure procedure narrative for the aircraft; a storage device adapted to store the departure procedure narrative; and a system controller coupled to the display device and to the storage device and adapted to receive the departure procedure narrative and to parse the departure procedure narrative to extract obstacle information from the departure procedure narrative, the system controller further adapted to determine, from the obstacle information, a first position of an obstacle relative to the departure end of the runway and to operate the display device to present a graphical representation of the obstacle based on the determined first position. - View Dependent Claims (20)
