Method for displaying the ability of an aircraft to reach a first point by having the possibility of reaching a second point, associated computer program product and display module

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of displaying on a zone of display. display of the capacity of an aircraft to reach a first preselected point while having the possibility of joining a second preselected point. The method comprises the steps of determining a first maximum flight radius of the aircraft from its current position for a given quantity of fuel and displaying on the display area at least part of a main ellipse (E1) with a first focal point at the representative point (PC) of the current position of the aircraft, a second focal point at the representative point (P2) of the second preselected point and a major axis corresponding to half of the first maximum radius of flight on the display area.
