Abstract
A synthetic vision type viewing system SVS for a first aircraft includes at least position sensors of the first aircraft, a traffic detection system for calculating the position and the dangerousness of at least one second aircraft presenting a risk of collision with the first aircraft based on data obtained from sensors or from the TCAS or ADS-B, an electronic computer, a human-machine interface device and a display screen. The computer includes a processing unit configured to process different information obtained from the database, from the sensors and from the interface device. The processing unit is configured to provide the display screen with a synthetic image of the space surrounding the first aircraft and center on the latter. The image includes at least one first symbol of the first aircraft and a second representation of the past and present trajectory of the second aircraft.
