One example includes a terrain profile system. A data store stores map data of a geographic region of interest and DTED. A route input system facilitates user inputs associated with defining a planned flight path of an aircraft between two points on a map associated with the map data and with defining flight characteristic data of the aircraft. A terrain profile controller defines a terrain signature associated with a topography of terrain features of the geographic region of interest along the planned flight path based on the DTED and a planned altitude of the aircraft along the planned flight path based on the flight characteristic data. A display system displays a terrain profile comprising the terrain signature, the planned altitude relative to the terrain signature, and a real-time location of the aircraft superimposed on the planned altitude based on real-time location data associated with the aircraft.
