Abstract:
A vertical profile for an in-trail procedure can provide a pilot with enhanced situational awareness. Such a vertical profile may be able to provide a graphical indication of a clearance window for change in altitude procedures, as well as the underlying bases for such a window. A method can include providing, in a hardware display, a graphical vertical profile displaying an aircraft to a pilot of the aircraft. The method can also include providing, in the vertical profile, an indication of the relative speed of at least one other aircraft and a graphical indication of a clearance window for vertical maneuvers for the aircraft of the pilot.
