Aircraft, enhanced flight vision systems, and methods for displaying an approaching runway area are provided. In one example, an aircraft includes a display disposed in a cockpit area. A radar imaging and post-processing arrangement is in communication with the display via a processor. The radar imaging and post-processing arrangement is operative to generate a radar image of an approaching runway area, generate a symbology corresponding to the approaching runway area and/or compare the radar image to a synthetic vision (SV) database to align an SV runway area with the radar image to define an aligned SV runway area, and to communicate the symbology and/or the aligned SV runway area to the display.
