Abstract
A system and method for generation and display of a dynamic looming ball deviation symbology (DLBDS) to a pilot receives inputs from a plurality of sources and displays a single source 3D deviation indicator to limit a scan requirement of a pilot. The system generates and displays the DLBDS relative to an ownship flight path marker intuitively useful to indicate each of a lateral deviation, a vertical deviation, and a longitudinal deviation relative to a desired object or position relative to the desired object. The DLBDS is displayed relative to the ownship aircraft and indicates deviation to be corrected to position the aircraft at the desired position relative to the object.
