The method also includes determining, based on the relative position data, a location of a virtual leader based on projecting the location of the aircraft onto a virtual leader path, where the virtual leader path corresponds to a straight approach path to the location of the moving target point along a desired approach direction. The method further includes determining, based on the location of the virtual leader, a guidance input to cause the aircraft to follow the virtual leader.",
