A method for three-dimensional graphic representation of the outside landscape in an on-board display system for aircraft comprises a graphical computer and a display screen. The graphic representation is computed to a visibility distance. In the method the zero pitch line of the aircraft forms, with the real horizon line, a first angle, the line representing the limit of the visibility distance forming, with the real horizon line, a second angle, in a first step, the graphical computer determines the maximum visibility distance such that the difference between the first angle and the second angle remains less than a determined value; in a second step, the graphical computer determines the visibility distance as a function of the maximum visibility distance, of the maximum altitude of the relief of the local environment and of the flight phase.

Abstract:
A method for the three-dimensional representation of the trajectory of an aircraft in flight implemented in a navigation system of an aircraft is provided. The flight plan of the aircraft comprises imposed georeferenced trajectories and predicted non-georeferenced trajectories. When the trajectory of the aircraft is dependent on a non-georeferenced flight setpoint, the three-dimensional representation method is an iterative process comprising the following steps: computing a predicted trajectory arising from at least one computed trajectory extending over a determined distance or duration; computing a smoothed trajectory from the predicted trajectory in order to obtain a resulting trajectory; computing a displayed trajectory, the trajectory being equal to the resulting trajectory corrected for constant deviations or deviations depending on the application of setpoints from the flight director; and displaying the displayed trajectory.

The general field of the invention is that of devices for display and control of setpoints for automatic piloting for aircraft, configured to display the setpoints of speed, heading, climb slope and altitude. The various setpoints are displayed in the form of a graphical representation comprising: wheels graduated in speed and in altitude indicating the aircraft setpoint values; a circular heading rose, graduated and centred on a first symbol representing the aircraft, the heading setpoint being indicated by a second symbol representing the heading to be followed by the aircraft and disposed around the perimeter of the heading rose; and a vertical sectional view comprising a graduated semicircle centred on a third symbol representing the aircraft, the slope setpoint being indicated by a fourth symbol representing the slope to be followed by the aircraft and disposed around the perimeter of the semicircle.
