The present example a vertical profile display system with enhanced temporal depiction of navigation information. Such a display, or user interface, may advantageously display information relating to the terrain an aircraft is traveling through based on time ahead of the aircraft to a terrain feature or event, rather than distance to the feature or event. Time to a particular feature may typically be displayed with altitude of the aircraft displayed on the Y-axis. However in alternative examples other types of displays, such as three dimensional displays and the like may be substituted for a two dimensional Cartesian display.

1. A method employed in a computer system of an aircraft for displaying time based navigation information, such method comprising: displaying a horizontal axis indicative of a time based scale, where such time based scale is marked off with a plurality of equally-spaced vertical time lines extending upwardly from the horizontal axis, and a numerical indication of time is depicted below each vertical time line;displaying a vertical axis indicative of a vertical height based scale, where such vertical axis extends upwardly from the horizontal axis; anddisplaying the horizontal axis and the vertical axis together with a vertical profile display of time based navigation information in response to selection of an input. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information displays an absolute time profile. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information displays a relative time profile. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information is required time of arrival page display. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information is aircraft cruising information. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information provides required time of arrival information. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information displays a required time of arrival constraint for a waypoint. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a plurality of required time of arrival constraints. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a required time of arrival window monitoring and alerting display. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a time based event. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a display of approaching a holding pattern. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a display of entering a holding pattern. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes a display of equal time points. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes proximate traffic indications. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes traffic advisory indications. 16. The method of claim 1, wherein the vertical profile display of time based navigation information includes self-spacing indicators. 17. A system for generating a vertical profile display of time based navigation information, such system comprising: controlling avionics to process at least one input and generate a display signal; andan avionics display coupled to the controlling avionics to receive the display signal and to generate a horizontal axis and a vertical axis together with a vertical profile display of time based navigation information, where the horizontal axis is indicative of a time based scale, where such time based scale is marked off with a plurality of equally-spaced vertical time lines extending upwardly from the horizontal axis, anda numerical indication of time is depicted below each vertical time line, andthe vertical axis is indicative of a vertical height based scale, where such vertical axis extends upwardly from the horizontal axis. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein spatial navigation map information is displayed on the avionics display. 19. The system of claim 17, wherein the avionics display is an LCD display. 20. A system comprising: a processing means for processing at least one input and generating a display signal; anda display means for generating and viewing a horizontal axis and a vertical axis together with vertical profile display of time based navigation information of the display signal generated by the processing means, where the horizontal axis is indicative of a time based scale, where such time based scale is marked off with a plurality of equally-spaced vertical time lines extending upwardly from the horizontal axis, anda numerical indication of time is depicted below each vertical time line, andthe vertical axis is indicative of a vertical height based scale, where such vertical axis extends upwardly from the horizontal axis.
