The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein said scale, displayed by said display unit, is extended between a low speed value and a high speed value, further wherein a plurality of corresponding speed values are displayed adjacently to said scale by said display unit. 6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein said display unit further displays an adjacent bar to said scale, said adjacent bar comprising a first end corresponding to said speed of the aircraft and a variable end corresponding, on said scale, to a future speed to be reached by said aircraft if a current variation of said speed is maintained during a predetermined amount of time. 7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said display unit further displays a value indicative of said variation of said speed. 8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said predetermined amount of time is 10 seconds. 9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a user interface providing said selected display algorithm signal. 10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein said dynamic parameter comprises the altitude of said aircraft; further wherein an altitude reference signal is further provided to said processing unit, further wherein said processing unit determines said display signal using said altitude reference signal. 11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein said display unit displays said pointer with said altitude of said aircraft. 12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11, wherein said scale, displayed by said display unit, is extended between a reference altitude level value, corresponding to said altitude reference signal, and a high altitude value, further wherein a plurality of corresponding altitude values are displayed, by said display unit, adjacently to said scale. 13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, further comprising a user interface providing said selected display algorithm signal and said altitude reference signal. 14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10, wherein said display unit further displays an adjacent bar to said scale, said adjacent bar comprising a first end corresponding to said altitude of said aircraft and a variable end corresponding, on said scale, to a future altitude to be reached by said aircraft if a current variation of said altitude is maintained during a predetermined amount of time. 15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 14, wherein said display unit further displays a value indicative of said variation of said altitude. 16. The apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein said predetermined amount of time is 60 seconds. 17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said scale, displayed by said display unit, is extended between a low dynamic parameter value and a high dynamic parameter value, further wherein a plurality of corresponding dynamic parameter values are displayed adjacently to said scale by said display unit. 18. A method for displaying a dynamic parameter of an aircraft, said method comprising: providing a reading of said dynamic parameter; generating a scale having scale ends, said scale changing dynamically and non-linearly using said provided reading of said dynamic parameter and a selected display algorithm signal together with a minimum dynamic parameter value and a maximum dynamic parameter value, and a pointer pointing to said scale in accordance with said reading of said dynamic parameter of said aircraft; and displaying said scale, said minimum dynamic parameter value and said maximum dynamic parameter value, such that said selected display algorithm constantly and exactly fits said reading, and the minimum and maximum dynamic parameter value's to said scale, thereby emphasizing a range of said reading of said dynamic parameter while keeping said minimum and said maximum dynamic parameter values constant and in view at respective scale ends. 19. The method as claimed in claim 18, further comprising generating a plurality of corresponding dynamic parameter values, corresponding to said scale, further comprising displaying said plurality of corresponding dynamic parameter values adjacently to said scale. 20. The method as claimed in claim 18, further comprising selecting said selected display algorithm signal from a plurality of non-linear display algorithms. 21.
