In this paper we present a Vertical Situation Display (VSD) for Flight Management System equipped aircraft. It was developed, implemented and evaluated in the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator at NASA Ames Research Center. The VSD was designed to support flight crews in managing the vertical flight path when using high levels of aircraft automation inside Terminal Areas.
