Abstract
A system and method for detecting and viewing aircraft hazardous incidents such as flying aircraft and meteorological phenomena which includes microbursts, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and the wake turbulence of aircraft. The aircraft hazardous incidents are positionally and horizontally displayed to the pilot on a display, that is located in the aircraft cockpit, in relation to the flight path of the aircraft. The timely displaying of any of the aircraft hazardous incidents permits the pilot to take evasive action to avoid a potentially dangerous incident.
