    Abstract: A system and methods of displaying airport field features on a flight deck display element of an aircraft are provided. The flight deck display system obtains geographic position data and heading data for the aircraft, accesses airport feature data associated with synthetic graphical representations of an airport field, and renders a dynamic synthetic display of the airport field on the flight deck display element. The dynamic synthetic display is rendered in accordance with the geographic position data, the heading data, and the airport feature data. In certain embodiments the synthetic display includes graphical representations of taxiways/runways, along with signage that is conformally rendered on the exposed taxiway surfaces. Display characteristics of the signage may be influenced by the actual physical and/or temporal proximity of the aircraft relative to reference locations on the airport field. In some embodiments, the taxiway/runway signage includes dynamic directional indicators corresponding to the intended directions of travel on the taxiways/runways. Moreover, the taxiway/runway signage can be dynamically rendered in a forward-facing manner at all times on the flight deck display element.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种在飞机的飞行甲板显示元件上显示机场场特征的系统和方法。 飞行甲板显示系统获取飞机的地理位置数据和航标数据,访问与机场领域的合成图形表示相关联的机场特征数据,并且在飞行甲板显示单元上呈现机场场的动态合成显示。 根据地理位置数据,标题数据和机场特征数据,呈现动态合成显示。 在某些实施例中,合成显示器包括滑行道/跑道的图形表示,以及在暴露的滑行道表面上保形地呈现的标牌。 标牌的显示特征可能受飞机相对于机场领域的参考位置的实际物理和/或时间接近度的影响。 在一些实施例中,滑行道/跑道标牌包括对应于滑行道/跑道上的行驶方向的动态方向指示器。 此外,滑行道/跑道标牌可以在飞行甲板显示元件上始终以向前的方式动态地呈现。

    Abstract: A switching system comprises a three-way radio switch for an onboard radio system. The radio switch includes a manual standby frequency switch that receives and displays a standby frequency input by a user; an automated standby frequency switch that receives and displays a standby frequency automatically input by the system; and an active frequency switch that shows a currently selected frequency. The active frequency switch receives and displays the frequency from the manual standby frequency switch, or receives and displays the frequency from the automated standby frequency switch. A processor is operative to monitor frequencies of the radio system in real-time; compare the frequencies of the radio system with frequencies from a database containing regional radio frequencies; trigger an alert when the frequencies of the radio system do not match the frequencies from the database; and send an updated standby radio frequency to the automated standby frequency switch.

    Abstract: A system for ordering flight crew tasks during flight of an airborne vehicle is provided. The system includes one or more processors configured by programming instructions encoded on non-transient computer readable media. The system is configured to: retrieve a current ordering of a plurality of flight crew tasks across a flight profile and task context data; retrieve current flight data including: targets and constraints, progress and state of each required checklist, airspace dynamics information, environmental conditions, the time of day and year, and aircraft state information which includes the current automation and configuration state; retrieve airborne vehicle operator preferences; analyze the retrieved current ordering of flight crew tasks and task context data, current flight data, and operator preferences to predict a flight crew task saturation period; and re-order the current ordering of the plurality of flight crew tasks to reduce the occurrence of task saturation periods.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for presenting a waypoint list graphical user interface display on a display device associated with a vehicle, such as an aircraft. The waypoint list graphical user interface display comprises a waypoint list region including a plurality of waypoints, wherein an entry for a currently selected waypoint maintains a fixed position on the waypoint list graphical user interface display while the waypoints scroll with respect to the entry to adjust the currently selected waypoint within a flight plan for an aircraft.

    Abstract: A connected instrument procedure placekeeping system includes a navigation database, a flight deck display, a flight deck processor, and an electronic device. The flight deck processor is in operable communication with the navigation database and the flight deck display and selectively retrieves flight plan data from the navigation database. The flight deck processor causes the flight deck display to render images of an instrument procedure. The electronic device is in operable communication with the flight deck processor and simultaneously renders an image of a published representation of the instrument procedure. One of either the flight deck processor or the electronic device is responsive to user input signals to highlight a waypoint and its associated constraint and the other of the electronic device or the flight deck processor simultaneously highlights the waypoint and its associated constraint for ease of comparison.
