Synthetic vision systems (SVS) improved cockpit display systems a lot facing situational awareness and safety issues. Pilots get detailed comprehensive information timely during flight. Besides, cockpit display systems become more and more complex due to the fact that they increasingly provide various detailed information on smaller or larger display units. The pilot is in charge to manage and observe all the different flight relevant information. Upon terrain visualization weather data represent quite essential information concerning safety. Nearly every SVS provide weather information. Due to the dissimilarity of terrain and weather information the following contribution will discuss which representation might be the best for the one and the other. The intention behind is how the pilot may take greatest benefit from terrain and weather information in order to be aware of these aspects when necessary. This issue comprises the comparison of 2D and 3D views. Additionally, this contribution introduces a concept how flight relevant information, here weather data, might be related to the active route. This intends to provide an overview from where pilots can manage the indication of weather and terrain views for a proper situational awareness and flight management. The concept is depicted on the example of a curved approach in a mountainous region that is affected by emerging thunder storm.
