Abstract: 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: The general field of the invention is that of the methods for graphic representation of the relative position of the sky and of the earth in an onboard display system for aircraft, said graphic representation being displayed on a display screen comprising piloting and navigation information superimposed on a three-dimensional synthetic representation of the outside landscape. Said graphic representation is displayed only when the attitude of the aircraft is unusual, an unusual attitude corresponding to a roll value or to a pitch value located outside of a first range of nominal values. It comprises two disc segments of identical form, that are opaque and of different colour, situated symmetrically on a circle concentric to that bearing the roll scale, the straight-line segments of the two disc segments being parallel to the line representing the zero longitudinal trim indicator, the rotation of the two disc segments being slaved to the rotation of said zero longitudinal trim indicator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for securing the operation of a synthetic viewing system of an aircraft. This method comprises the steps of determining at least one control object in the field of view of the synthetic vision system and determining at least one control point belonging to each control object and verifying the consistency of the display of the synthetic vision system. The verification step comprises the sub-steps of recovering a first position corresponding to the displayed position of each control point on the corresponding outline on the display of the synthetic vision system, determining a second position of each control point on the display of the synthetic vision system and comparing the first and second positions.

Abstract: This method consists in: obtaining the positions of the thresholds of the runways of the aerodrome; a runway model being a polygonal modeling of the runways, associating each runway with polygons, a portion common to two secant runways being represented by polygons common to the modelizations of the two secant runways; determining a correction plane of a terrain model located below the thresholds of the runways; defining a contour area around the runway model, based on the runway model and the correction plane; correcting a terrain model so that any point outside the contour area is projected onto the correction plane and any point within the contour area is projected onto the contour area; combining the corrected field model and the runway model to obtain an improved virtual representation.
