| Summary: | According to statistics, there are many emergency landing into field due to engine failure. This situation is very stressful for the pilot in command and in general aviation airplanes (mainly in the LSA and small aircraft category) there are no instruments that would help pilot to deal with such a situation. Modern synthetic vision system with built-in 3D terrain database provides very little assistance or they are not helping at all with handling emergency landing in a field. This article deals with development and testing of emergency and precautionary landing assistant system based on synthetic vision system with detailed 3D terrain database. New functions that could help the pilot to deal with the difficult task are described. In conclusion the results of flight tests are discussed. |
