Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided for enhancing situational awareness onboard an aircraft during an aircraft ground maneuver such as when taxiing on a runway or taxiway. A three-dimensional view including airport features is rendered in a first airport region that extends a first predetermined distance (D1) from the aircraft when the aircraft speed is less than a predetermined speed (V1). A three-dimensional view including airport features in a second airport region is rendered that extends beyond D1 when the aircraft speed exceeds V1.
