A system and method is provided that displays graphical symbology that enables a pilot to rapidly discern (1) that a neighboring aircraft is a rotorcraft, and (2) whether the rotorcraft is hovering. The provided system and method enables a user to define hovering, by editing a position change (distance) within a predetermined time.

1. A method for displaying a rotorcraft icon, comprising: receiving aircraft traffic data associated with neighboring aircraft;formatting aircraft traffic data to create a traffic category for rotorcraft;identifying, among neighboring aircraft in the rotorcraft category, a first rotorcraft; at a first location;receiving user input defining a predetermined threshold distance and a predetermined threshold time;determining whether the first rotorcraft is hovering based on the predetermined threshold distance and the predetermined threshold time; anddisplaying a hovering rotorcraft icon on the display when the first rotorcraft is determined to be hovering. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of displaying a hovering rotorcraft icon comprises generating graphical symbology representative of a rotorcraft shape within a substantially circular ring. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the step of displaying further comprises adjusting the radius of the circular ring to indicate a hovering limit of the first rotorcraft, wherein hovering limit is defined as a distance traveled by the first rotorcraft during the predetermined threshold time. 4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising displaying graphical symbology representative of a rotorcraft shape when the first rotorcraft is not hovering. 5. The method according to claim 3, further comprising: receiving a first position data and a second position data for the first rotorcraft; andwherein determining the distance traveled comprises determining a distance between the first position data and the second position data. 6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising comparing the traveling distance to the threshold distance parameter. 7. The method according to claim 2, wherein the location and orientation of the rotorcraft icon on the display is graphically representative of the first location. 8. A method for displaying a rotorcraft icon on a monitor included within an avionic display system of a host aircraft, comprising: receiving aircraft traffic data associated with neighboring aircraft;formatting aircraft traffic data to create a traffic category for rotorcraft;identifying, using the traffic category for rotorcraft, a first rotorcraft at a first location;displaying a rotorcraft icon representative of the first rotorcraft;receiving user input defining a predetermined threshold distance and a predetermined threshold time;receiving a first position data and a second position data for the first rotorcraft;determining a distance traveled by the first rotorcraft between the first position data and the second position data;determining whether the first rotorcraft is hovering based on the predetermined threshold distance, the predetermined threshold time, and the distance traveled; andoverlaying the rotorcraft icon with a substantially circular ring when the first rotorcraft is determined to be hovering. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the step of displaying a hovering rotorcraft icon comprises generating graphical symbology in the shape of a rotorcraft. 10. The method according to claim 8, further comprising adjusting a first radius of the ring to indicate a hovering limit of the first rotorcraft, wherein hovering limit is defined as a distance traveled by the first rotorcraft during the predetermined threshold time. 11. An avionic display system for deployment onboard an aircraft including an air traffic data source that provides the avionic display system with aircraft traffic data, the system comprising: a monitor included within the avionic display system, the avionic display system receiving and graphically displaying surrounding aircraft traffic data on the monitor; anda processor operatively coupled to the monitor and configured toformat aircraft traffic data to create a traffic category for rotorcraft,identify, using the traffic category for rotorcraft, a first rotorcraft among surrounding aircraft traffic; at a first location;receiving user input defining a predetermined threshold distance and a predetermined threshold time;receive position data associated with the first rotorcraft,determine whether the first rotorcraft is hovering based on the predetermined threshold distance, the predetermined threshold time, and the position data andgraphically display a hovering rotorcraft icon on the display when the first rotorcraft is determined to be hovering. 12. The avionic display system of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to display a rotorcraft shaped icon on the display representative of the first rotorcraft's location and orientation. 13. The avionic display system of claim 12, wherein the processor is further configured to display a substantially circular ring around a rotorcraft shaped icon when the rotorcraft is determined to be hovering. 14. The avionic display system of claim 13, wherein the processor is further configured to adjust the radius of the circular ring to indicate a hovering limit of the rotorcraft, wherein hovering limit is defined as a distance traveled by the first rotorcraft during the predetermined threshold time. 15. The avionic display system of claim 11, wherein determining the hovering limit comprises comparing the distance traveled to the threshold distance parameter.
