Abstract
A system, device, and method for generating an RNP-scaled waypoint symbology presentable to a pilot are disclosed. The symbology generating system may include a source of source of navigation data, a symbology generator (SG), and a presentation system. The SG may be configured to acquire navigation data representative of one or more distance measurements of an area navigation system or a required navigation performance system; and generate presentation data as a function of each distance measurement. The presentation data could be representative of waypoint symbology presentable to a viewer. In some embodiments, the waypoint symbology may be comprised of a two-dimensional object or a three-dimensional object having a plurality of shapes centered on a reference line, where a size of a first shape may be scaled to a first distance measurement, and a size of a second shape may be scaled to a second distance measurement.
