    Abstract: A method and system for dynamically representing the separation for air traffic has been developed. First, air traffic is detected which requires maintenance of a separation distance from an ownship aircraft. The ground speed of the ownship, the ground speed of the air traffic and the current separation distance is determined. A predicted separation distance is calculated following a specific time interval. The predicted separation distance between the air traffic and the ownship is based on a differential in ground speed between the air traffic and the ownship and the specific time interval. The location of the air traffic, the separation distance and the predicted separation distance are all shown on a graphical display onboard the ownship. The separation distance and the predicted separation distance are represented on a non-linear scale on the graphical display.
