    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assisting operation of an aircraft when diverting from a flight plan using a comparative vertical profile display. A vertical profile display includes a first graphical representation of a first vertical profile corresponding to a first lateral route defined by a flight plan for the aircraft and a second graphical representation of a second vertical profile corresponding to a modified lateral route different from the first lateral route displayed concurrently on the vertical profile display. The first vertical profile corresponding to the first lateral route is depicted on the vertical profile display in a first plane and the second vertical profile corresponding to the modified lateral route is depicted on the vertical profile display in a second plane different from the first plane.

    Abstract: A system and method for providing automatic from-waypoint updating includes determining when a flight plan has been received that includes rendering a lateral map image that includes an aircraft icon and a flight leg to be captured. A variable position user input device supplies a signal representative of its position. A processor processes the signal from the variable position user input device and commands a display device to render a trajectory line graphic that (a) extends from the aircraft icon in a direction that corresponds to the position of the variable user input device and (b) intersects the at least one flight leg to be captured. The flight plan is automatically updated to designate the waypoint at the start of the at least one flight leg as a from-waypoint.

    Abstract: A flight deck timer management system includes a database storing conditions representing a first monitoring mode defining at least a first rule, a first timing characteristic defining a first time period for compliance with the first rule, and a first advisory value relative to the first time period at which a first advisory is initiated. A control unit is configured to identify input states based on the input data, and to evaluate the input states in view of the first monitoring mode conditions. When the input states trigger the first monitoring mode, the control unit evaluates the input states in view of the first rule, initiates a first timer based on the first timing characteristic, monitors a first timing status of the first timer relative to the first advisory value, and generates display commands representing the first advisory when the first timer status reaches the first advisory value.

    Abstract: A method for providing alerts or indications to an aircrew of an aircraft that is in-flight and approaching a destination airport includes receiving an aircrew runway selection from the aircrew of the aircraft, automatically generating a probable runway selection by the aircraft, and determining a position of the in-flight aircraft with reference to a threshold point. If the aircraft is prior to the threshold point, the method includes generating alerts and indications to the aircrew based solely on the received runway selection into the FMS from the aircrew of the aircraft and not on the automatically-generated probable runway selection from the aircraft. Alternatively, if the aircraft is past the threshold point, the method includes generating alerts and indications to the aircrew based solely on the automatically-generated probable runway selection from the aircraft and not on the received runway selection into the FMS from the aircrew of the aircraft.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided for anticipating a missed approach point (MAP) during an instrument landing of an aircraft. Symbology is generated and displayed that graphically represents a lateral distance between a runway threshold and a virtual inner marker. The MAP is identified as the location of the aircraft when the symbology reaches a displayed runway threshold.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for indicating to a crewmember of a vehicle, for example a pilot of an aircraft, of an upcoming event. The method comprises displaying a route of the vehicle, the route including a plurality of waypoints; designating one of the waypoints, or designating a non-navigational waypoint, for the indication; and providing an indication when arriving at the designated waypoint or non-navigational waypoint. The indication preferably comprises a note displayed on a navigation screen showing the route of flight.
