Abstract
The present invention is a method and system of aircraft surface operations guidance on a head up display. An aircraft surface operations guidance method includes the following steps. At time t, a taxi guidance cue and a trend vector are displayed on a head up display of an aircraft. The taxi guidance cue represents a desired position of an aircraft control point of the aircraft at time t. The trend vector represents a predicted path of the aircraft control point from time tto time tbased on a state of the aircraft at time t. The trend vector includes a tip representing a predicted position of the aircraft control point at time t. The tip is maintained within the taxi guidance cue so that the aircraft control point may reach the desired position at time t.
