Abstract
A yaw feedback system for use by an aircraft is provided. The yaw feedback system includes a processor, a runway centerline indicator, and a yaw feedback indicator. The processor is configured to determine a yaw difference between a current track of the aircraft and a runway centerline. The runway centerline indicator is configured to virtually extend a runway visual range (RVR) for a pilot of the aircraft. The yaw feedback indicator is coupled to the processor and configured to prompt the pilot for a yaw input to compensate for the yaw difference.
