N2 - An on-board guidance aid is described which provides the integrated presentation of guidance information and a terrain image in a 3-dimensional format. The goal is to achieve an aircraft-autonomous accessibility of small airports, especially in low visibility and adverse weather conditions. The guidance information consists of a tunnel for showing the command approach trajectory and a predictor for indicating the aircraft position at an appropriate time ahead. The terrain image is displayed with high resolution. A low-cost solution of the on-board guidance aid is feasible using Commercial-off-the-Shelf hardware components and an efficient software.
