Avionics display system and method for generating three dimensional display including error-compensated airspace

摘要

Embodiments of a method are provided that may be carried out by an avionics display system (20) deployed on an aircraft and including a monitor (24). The avionics display system receives position data indicative of the aircraft's detected position from at least one data source (28, 30). In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of: (i) attributing an error characteristic to the data source (42), (ii) identifying an airspace assigned to the aircraft at a given time (44), and (iii) establishing an error-compensated airspace as a function of the error characteristic and the assigned airspace (46). The aircraft's actual position remains within the assigned airspace provided that the aircraft's detected position resides within the error-compensated airspace. A visual representation of the outer boundaries of the error-compensated airspace (66) is generated on the monitor (60).
