During the last years Jeppesen has developed digital terrain, obstacle and airport databases as well as different electronic displays as part of the NASA Aviation Safety Program. This paper describes the continuation of this work, which is now focused on a completely dynamic channel depiction of navigation procedures inside a SVS display.A human factors workshop has been conducted to identify the pilot's expectations and requirements for channel guidance. Pilots from the GA, BA and CA segment and charting experts participated in the workshop. The workshop covered three main topics of the program. A general information and task analysis revealed what information the pilots need while flying a procedure. The two other sessions dealt with the generation of the channel trajectory and the depiction of the channel trajectory.Based on the results, the channel trajectories are generated dynamically using the flight dynamics of the aircraft in order to make the trajectory easily flyable even in turns and within the performance parameters of the aircraft. Trajectories can be generated for ARINC424 coded STARs and approaches. Additional trajectories and guidance cues for intercepting or reentering a procedure are generated, as well as ATC commands like radar vectors and missed approach procedures. The generated trajectories are verified to ensure they do not conflict with special use airspaces, obstacles and terrain.

Since the introduction of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) in the Boeing 777 in 2003, Airport Moving Maps (AMM) are making their way into modern flight decks in order to provide improved situation awareness to the pilot during ground operations. The Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 will be equipped with AMM displays as standard, while retrofits are available for older airliners.
