Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and device for aiding ground navigation of an aircraft on an airport in which a current position and current heading of the aircraft are determined by a set of information sources. A first determination unit determines, according to the determined current position and current heading, and according to information obtained from an airport database, a current traffic lane on which the aircraft is situated, and parameters relating to a next intersection of the current traffic lane. Parameters relating to the next intersection include the position of the next intersection; and the distance between the next intersection and the current position of the aircraft. A head-up display unit overlays, on an environment in front of the aircraft, a first symbol illustrating the determined current traffic lane and a set of second symbols illustrating the determined parameters of the next intersection.
