processing the data to form selected flight path data, generating first
and second symbols in response to the selected flight path data, the
first symbols showing boundaries around the selected flight path, the
second symbols following the selected flight path, and displaying the
first and second symbols in a three dimensional airspace.
The prior art reference of record relied upon by the Examiner in
