Summary:A dynamic runway indicator (930) is displayed overlying a conformal runway (932) for assisting a pilot in completing an approach to landing on a runway. The dynamic runway indicator includes a polygon (934), that by changing position with respect to the conformal runway, provides advanced instrumentation cues to the pilot for adjusting the aircraft flight path to a normal, or recommended, path to the runway for landing, thereby assisting the pilot to improve the accuracy and safety of the approach and landing.
