Abstract
An avionics display for rotorcraft provides a depiction of 360 degrees of terrain and obstacles about the rotorcraft using a top plan view at above a predetermined altitude that transitions to an angle perspective view as the altitude drops. The display provides improved situational awareness for highly mobile aircraft at critical times of takeoff and landing.
