Synthetic vision and precision navigation are regareded as a means to improve low visibility guidance of air vehicles. This paper presents a synthetic vision concept providing the pilot with a 3-dimensional view of the outside world by using online image generation with a stored database and precision satellite navigation for position and attitude. Results of three flight test series are presented which were conducted at Braunschweig airport (Germany) for precision approach and landing, in Altmühl river valley (Germany) for low flight and at Lugano airport (Switzerland) for curved and steep approaches. The results show that computer generated synthetic vision and precision navigation enables the pilot to precisely follow complex and curved trajectories.
