A method for visually indicating an advisory from the traffic collision avoidance system on a flight display

摘要

A method of visually indicating an advisory from a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) on a flight display (10) of an aircraft (2), the method comprising receiving a TCAS advisory, determining a severity of the received TCAS advisory, displaying a geometric body (134, 136, 234, 236, 334, 336) on the flight display in response to the TCAS advisory, and altering a shape of the displayed geometric body (134, 136, 234, 236, 334, 336) in response to the determined severity wherein the shape of the displayed geometric body (134, 136, 234, 236, 334, 336) may be altered by altering at least one of an angle and an arc of the geometric body (134, 136, 234, 236, 334, 336).
