A flight path display apparatus provided in a cockpit of an aircraft has a head-up display unit. An image combining panel of the head-up display unit displays a flight path image projected from projecting system which is superimposed on the outside view. Computing system for calculating the image to be projected to the image combining panel calculates a display position of the target flight path based on data from storage system in which predetermined flight paths are stored and from aircraft flight data measuring system for measuring the position and attitude of the aircraft. When the display position of the target flight path is outside a display area of the image combining panel, a target mark indicative of a direction toward the flight path from the center of the display area blinks on the image combining panel. With the above construction, a flight path display apparatus which allows a pilot to keep sight on a target flight path is realized.
