Abstract: To facilitate improved CPDLC interfacing, report messages can be automatically armed and displayed in a threaded message format in the same message panel with other CPDLC messages between a vehicle and a ground system. Upon determining that a report is needed based on an uplink CPDLC message from the ground system, a report message label is displayed on the CPDLC message panel. Once the report is ready, it is automatically armed and the report message label indicates to the operator that the report message is ready to be sent. The operator can also select the report message label in the message panel to display the report message.

Abstract: A method for creating a Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications message (CPDLC message) is provided. The method includes receiving a request on a user interface of an avionics device to create the CPDLC message; displaying a menu with a plurality of types of CPDLC messages in a panel body on the user interface; receiving a selection of one of the plurality of types of CPDLC messages through the menu; populating the panel body with fields configured to gather data for the CPDLC message based on the selection; and creating the CPDLC message based on the data.

Abstract: A method and system for determining and displaying a turn to a heading entry for an aircraft has been developed. First, a preliminary heading selection and a preliminary turn direction are entered into an automated flight control system (AFCS) for an aircraft. The preliminary heading selection and the preliminary turn direction are displayed to a pilot of the aircraft. A subsequent heading selection is entered into the AFCS while the aircraft is engaged in turning to the preliminary heading selection in the preliminary turn direction. A shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is determined. A determination is made if the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is the same direction and the preliminary turn direction and a notice is displayed to the pilot of the aircraft is the shortest turn radius to the subsequent heading selection is not the same direction and the preliminary turn direction.

Abstract: A method for displaying CPDLC messages on a user interface is provided. The method includes receiving a CPDLC message for display on the user interface; determining whether the CPDLC message has a message reference number (MRN); if the CPDLC message does not have an MRN, displaying the CPDLC message in a first column in a panel body of the user interface if the CPDLC message is a downlink CPDLC message or in a second column in the panel body if the CPDLC message is an uplink CPDLC message; if the CPDLC message does have an MRN, identifying a prior CPDLC message having the MRN as a message identification number (MIN) for the prior CPDLC message; identifying whether the prior CPDLC message is in the first or the second column; and displaying the CPDLC message in an opposite column from the prior CPDLC message.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable medium for managing vehicle guidance using a GUI. One method may include: obtaining flight management system (FMS) data; updating an aircraft configuration state based on the FMS data; obtaining a current mode, active command, and a second command for a guidance panel based on the configuration state; and generating a guidance panel GUI based on the current mode, the active command, and the second command. Another method may include: obtaining vehicle data; updating a vehicle configuration state based on the vehicle data if the vehicle data has updated information; obtaining a current mode, active command, and a second command for a guidance panel of the vehicle based on the vehicle configuration state; generating a guidance panel GUI based on the current mode, the active command, and the second command; and displaying the guidance panel GUI on the guidance panel.

Abstract: In one example, a system includes HMI(s) and processor(s) communicatively coupled to the HMI(s) and a non-transitory computer-readable medium on which CPDLC interface instructions are stored. The CPDLC interface instructions are executable by the processor(s) and, when executed by the processor(s), cause the processor(s) to: generate a CPDLC GUI on the HMI(s), the CPDLC GUI configured to display icons representing a subnetwork, a Current Data Authority (CDA), and a Next Data Authority (NDA) for the CPDLC connection; in response to receiving a command via the CPDLC GUI to log on to a CPDLC session, establish the CPDLC connection with a ground station using the subnetwork and the CDA; generate an indicator or a button in a header of the CPDLC GUI that includes an indication of the subnetwork, the CDA, and the NDA for the CPDLC connection.

Abstract: One or more datalink labels are displayed on a shared panel of a user interface. The datalink labels are generated in response to receiving a datalink message from at least one ground station. Upon receiving a selection of the datalink label, one or more sub-panels that include information or a representation of the datalink message are displayed on the user interface. In some embodiments, the sub-panel includes a button that, when selected, automatically generates a response message. Utilizing datalink labels in conjunction with the shared panel simplifies datalink messaging and enables messaging functions to be completed on the same screen regardless of which application (or function of an application) is currently displayed on the user interface.
