Techniques are described that allow an air traffic display of an aircraft to display the relative motion of air traffic proximate to the aircraft. The air traffic display may be switched between a first display mode in which absolute motion of air traffic is displayed (e.g., motion of air traffic targets relative to a fixed point on the earth's surface or relative to an apparently fixed celestial point is displayed) and a second display mode in which motion of air traffic targets is displayed relative to the aircraft. The techniques further facilitate the selection of individual traffic targets from a displayed traffic depiction to activate a third display mode in which additional information about the relative motion of the selected target, such as its estimated closest point of approach (CPA) to the aircraft and the estimated time it will take the selected target to reach the CPA are shown.
