System and method for displaying runway approach texture objects

A system (110) and method are provided for displaying images to an aircrew member of an aircraft during approach to a runway. Synthetic approach texture objects (304, 404, 504, 604, 704, 804, 904) for the runway (302, 702, 802, 902) are modified and displayed in accordance with current coordinates, altitude, and speed of the aircraft. The approach texture objects are identical, regularly spaced objects each having a surface forming a plane (703) parallel to the runway.
