    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to techniques that use a data communication system such as ADS-B to provide an output to alert an aircraft operator of an incorrect barometric pressure setting for a pressure altimeter, and provide the correct altimeter setting. For example, the system may compile the ADS-B Out data from other aircraft operating near a first aircraft to provide the barometric pressure setting in use by the other aircraft. A system of this disclosure may identify the altimeter setting used by majority of the other aircraft in a region of airspace. If a first aircraft's current barometric altimeter setting is different from the setting of the majority of the nearby aircraft, then the system may generate an output to alert the operator of the first aircraft of a potential incorrect altimeter setting as well as provide a suggested barometric altimeter setting.

    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.
