METHOD AND DEVICE FOR VISUALIZING AN EFFECT OF WIND ON AN AIRCRAFT TRAVEL

The invention concerns a method for visualizing an effect of wind on an aircraft travel comprising the steps determining at least one wind speed and wind direction for a predefined airspace, identifying a predefined travel route of at least one selected aircraft within the predefined airspace, calculating at least one reference distance flown by the selected aircraft along a route segment of the travel route in a predefined reference time interval, wherein the calculating uses at least one air speed of the selected aircraft at the route segment, the determined wind speed and the determined wind direction, and optionally at least one altitude, visualizing the predefined travel route or the route segment and indicating said reference distance on the visualized predefined travel route or route segment.
