    Abstract: A flight deck system for providing task management assistance in managing the flight path to the flight crew is provided. The system is configured to: mine flight plan data for a current flight plan, navigational data, and vertical situation display (VSD) data; obtain notification data items originating from onboard avionics systems and systems external to the aircraft that indicate upcoming conditions that will affect the current flight plan; automatically analyze the mined flight plan data and the notification data items to identify a sensed deviation condition; automatically identify an aircraft-related deviation condition from an aircraft failure event; receive flight crew notification of a non-sensed deviation condition; automatically generate a plurality of flight plan deviation options to accommodate a sensed deviation condition, an aircraft-related deviation condition, or a non-sensed deviation condition; and present graphical elements representative of the flight plan deviation options to the flight crew on an integrated interactive graphical user interface.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for providing dual touch and physical control inputs for an aircraft control panel. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical shaped control knob that is rotatably mounted on the aircraft control panel. The control knob includes a movable surface around the exterior of control knob that is manually adjusted by a user, a touch screen along the circular top of the control knob that is tactilely adjusted by the user, and a display screen located on the touch screen that shows values of flight performance characteristics that are controlled by inputs from the control knob. A flight display panel shows image data of the aircraft with reference to the flight performance characteristics.

    Abstract: A method for providing task management assistance in managing the flight path to the flight crew is provided. The method comprises: mining flight plan data and navigational data from an aircraft system; obtaining notification data items originating from systems external to the aircraft; determining an estimated flight time to reach each of the plurality of waypoints, course data items, and the upcoming conditions; causing a timeline graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed on an aircraft display, wherein the timeline GUI is configured to display a timeline, waypoint graphical elements representative of the waypoints, course data item graphical elements representative of the other course data items, and notification data item graphical elements representative of the upcoming conditions; automatically analyzing the mined flight plan data and the notification data items to determine if deviation from the flight plan is suggested; and providing a notification of the suggested deviation from when deviation is suggested.

    Abstract: A method for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle is disclosed. The method may include: receiving identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and a portable vibration sensor mounted on the rotating machine; receiving vibration data from the portable vibration sensor during a test of the rotating machine, the received vibration data being associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the portable vibration sensor; comparing the received vibration data with known vibration data for the rotating machine; generating an alert if the received vibration data exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the known vibration data; generating a health report for the rotating machine based on the received vibration data; and transmitting the health report to a user via a web portal.
