    Abstract: A graphic rendering system for use with certified avionics software onboard an aircraft is disclosed. The graphic rendering system includes a graphic rendering engine that has been certified by governing governmental authority for use in an aircraft for displaying critical information, wherein the graphic rendering engine is configured to access an aircraft-specific graphical database file and an aircraft-specific geographical database file for graphical and geographical data for use in rendering the graphic for display on the cockpit display. Both the aircraft-specific graphical database file and the aircraft-specific geographical database file have been customized for use on the aircraft. The graphic rendering engine is configured to use the aircraft-specific graphical database file and the aircraft-specific geographical database file for rendering the graphic for displaying critical information on the cockpit display without prior certification by governing governmental authority of either the aircraft-specific graphical database file or the aircraft-specific geographical database file.

    Abstract: A method for presenting weather information onboard an aircraft is provided. The method obtains a first set of weather data from aircraft onboard radar system; obtains a second set of weather data from external sources including one or more external aircraft, a satellite, a remote server, and a ground-based weather station, wherein the communication device is compatible a communication protocol for the external sources, and wherein the communication protocol comprises at least one of a datalink communication protocol, a satellite communication protocol, a very high frequency (VHF) radio communication protocol, and a transponder communication protocol; and presents graphical elements comprising a first set of graphical elements associated with the first set of weather data and a second set of graphical elements associated with the second set of weather data, wherein the second set of graphical elements include visual characteristics distinguishable from the first set of graphical elements.

    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to methods, systems, and computer program products for automated avoidance of ground threats by an aircraft. In one example, a method includes determining, by one or more processing devices, whether a sufficient evasive maneuver for an aircraft to avoid a detected ground surface threat is performed via pilot controls of the aircraft within a selected threshold after an alert of the ground surface threat is outputted via one or more cockpit systems of the aircraft. The method further includes, in response to determining that a sufficient evasive maneuver via the pilot controls is not performed within the selected threshold, controlling, by the one or more processing devices, one or more flight systems of the aircraft to perform an automated evasive maneuver to avoid the ground surface threat.
