    Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a custom approach procedure are provided. The systems and methods receive a plurality of user entered waypoints constituting a provisional custom approach procedure from a user interface. A three-dimensional (3D) flight path is constructed connecting the way points with the constraint that the 3D flight path is a descent path with no climb segments. Terrain data along the 3D flight path is obtained from a terrain database. The 3D flight path is assessed with respect to the terrain data to detect one or more terrain conflicts. An output is generated and provided to the user interface based on the detected one or more terrain conflicts.

    Abstract: A flight deck system includes a cockpit display device on which an airport display is displayed and a controller. The controller is configured to generate a runway condition graphic having at least three different segments to be overlaid over or positioned adjacent to a depiction of a runway on the airport display, wherein each segment of the runway condition graphic is associated with a different segment of the runway and configured to provide a graphical indication of a contaminant condition for the associated segment. The controller is further configured to categorize the contaminant condition of each segment of the runway; visually code each segment of the runway condition graphic in a manner that is representative of the contaminant condition category for its associated segment of the runway; and cause the generated runway condition graphic to be overlaid over or positioned adjacent to the depiction of the runway on the airport display.

    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically forecasting service issues for an aircraft. The method accesses a service issue database that contains retrievable data regarding service issues for the aircraft. An operation flight plan for the aircraft is accessed including specific planned flight operations. The mission state of the aircraft is predicted based on the specific planned flight operations. A correlation is generated between the specific planned flight operations and any related service issues stored in the database. An advisory is generated for a crewmember of the aircraft that details any flight deck impact, avoidance procedures and mitigation procedures for the related service issues. The advisory, the flight deck impact, avoidance procedures and mitigation procedures are displayed in a graphic format to an aircrew member.

    Abstract: A flight deck system is configured to: receive a data model populated with flight data obtained while performing a core avionics function; receive configuration information from an external source that identifies a specific plurality of flight data items to extract from the data model; extract from the data model data values for the specific plurality of flight data items identified in the configuration information; generate an optical code that encodes the extracted data values; generate an HMI display that provides a selectable link for causing the optical code to be displayed in the aircraft; cause the HMI display to be display on an aircraft display; and cause the optical code to be displayed on an aircraft display responsive to selection of the selectable link; wherein the optical code provides encoded data values corresponding to the specific plurality of flight data items for decoding and display by a mobile device.
