Terrain augmented display symbology improves a pilot's spatial awareness during aircraft approach and landing. The symbology includes a terrain-tracing, three-dimensional centerline that provides a visual cue of terrain elevations along an approach course to a runway. Additionally, the symbology includes terrain-tracing, three-dimensional lateral deviation marks representing deviations from the centerline. The symbology also includes an aircraft symbol shaped like an airplane and pointing towards the direction of travel. The pilot may be able to quickly interpret the terrain augmented display symbology and take actions based on the surrounding terrain elevation.
