    Abstract: A controller for selectively displaying information from raster charts is disclosed. The controller is configured to: retrieve raster data; assign a different priority level to each of a plurality of types of raster data; cause raster data having a predetermined priority level to be displayed with first augmentation information and prevent from being displayed raster data not having the first predetermined priority level, wherein the first augmentation information comprises database data retrieved from a database and is assigned a first predetermined augmentation information priority level; generate a hidden layer of second augmentation information comprising database data from the database that is correlated to a geographical location of the displayed raster data and assigned a second predetermined augmentation information priority level; and cause the hidden layer of second augmentation information to be displayed over a portion of the displayed raster data when the geographical location is selected.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for suggesting, on an avionic display in an aircraft, a communication frequency that is relevant to a context of the aircraft. The method includes determining a location and orientation of the aircraft and referencing an intended flight path to determine, based thereon, the context of the aircraft. The method uses the context to reference an on-board source of a plurality of stored navigation communication frequencies. The method identifies one or more relevant navigation communication frequencies for the context and presents the relevant navigation communication frequencies in a predefined area on an avionic display.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for low visibility surface movement guidance for an aircraft navigating an airport environment. The system includes an avionic display module on an aircraft, configured to receive ownship data and generate an avionic display on a display device, and to respond to display commands. The system also includes a low voltage (LV) conditions module, configured to: receive weather data and determine when low voltage LV conditions are occurring; and, responsive to determining that LV conditions are occurring, (i) generate display commands to reconfigure the avionic display to present the LVO plan, rendered in accordance with a preprogrammed visualization scheme for rendering LV features in the LVO plan, and (ii) calculate an optimized taxi route for the aircraft to a target airport point of interest, as a function of the LVO plan. The system generates display commands to render the optimized taxi route on the reconfigured avionic display.
