Glide path information generating and presenting device and methods

Abstract

A present novel and non-trivial system and methods for generating and presenting glide path information are disclosed. A symbology generator may be configured to receive first data representative of a desired glide path ('DGP'); receive second data representative of first glide path deviation or third data representative of at least aircraft position; determine second glide path deviation as a function of the DGP and the aircraft position if the second data is not received; and generate symbology data as a function of the DGP and the first glide path deviation or second glide path deviation, where the symbology data is representative of a glide path angle reference cue comprised of a desired glide path deviation indicator. The desired glide path deviation indicator may be comprised of a single geometric symbol or a pattern of a plurality of geometric symbols.
