    Abstract: Aircraft systems and related methods are provided for extensible flight management capabilities. One exemplary system includes a multifunction computing module including a user interface, a first processing system, and a first communications interface supporting a first data characteristic, and a flight management computing module. The flight management computing module includes at least one avionics interface to receive operational data from an avionics system onboard an aircraft and having a second data characteristic different from the first data characteristic, a second communications interface communicatively coupled to the first communications interface to the multifunction computing module, and a second processing system coupled to the avionics interface and the second communications interface to convert the operational data to input data having the first data characteristic and provide the input data to the multifunction computing module.

    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: Methods and systems are provided for recovering flight plan data for a bypassed segment of a flight plan aircraft. The method comprises loading an initial flight plan onto a Flight Management System (FMS) that is located on board the aircraft. The active flight plan includes multiple waypoints located along the active flight plan. A modified flight plan is created and executed that bypasses at least one of the waypoints located along the initial flight plan. The bypassed flight data is stored in the memory of the FMS. A restored flight plan is created later by retrieving the bypassed flight data from the FMS memory and loaded onto the FMS. The restored flight plan is then executed by the FMS.

    Abstract: A keyboard module configured for use in an avionics touchscreen system is disclosed. The keyboard module is configured to display, via a visual display in the avionics touchscreen system and responsive to a selection of an application program generated widget for focus via a touchscreen surface in the avionics touchscreen system, a virtual keyboard. The virtual keyboard includes a text box widget configured to display clip data stored in clipboard memory provided by the avionics touchscreen system, a copy widget configured to cause data in a first widget provided by the application program that is in focus to be copied to the clipboard memory, and a paste widget configured to cause the clip data in the clipboard memory and displayed in the text box widget to be pasted to a second widget provided by the application program that is in focus.
