Method for supporting a pilot when landing an aircraft in case of restricted visibility

The method involves determining a position of a landing point by a movement compensated, aircraft-supported head-up display system (3) during a landing approach. The landing point is represented in the head-up display system by producing an external view-conform symbols on a ground surface. Production or computation of the ground surface is based on measurement data of an aircraft-supported three dimensional (3D) sensor (9). Production of 3D measurement data of the ground surface and determination of the landing point are carried out relative to an aircraft-fixed co-ordinate system (2).
