B64D 43/00

Abstract:

A system is provided that includes a controller including one or more processors disposed onboard an aircraft. The controller is configured to be operably connected to multiple subsystems on the aircraft. The controller receives operating parameters from one or more of the subsystems during a flight of the aircraft. The controller is configured to analyze the operating parameters to determine an abnormal operating condition of the aircraft. The controller is further configured to transmit a display message to a display device onboard the aircraft. The display message provides multiple responsive actions to the abnormal operating condition. The responsive actions are prioritized on the display device to indicate to the flight crew that one or more of the responsive actions are recommended over one or more other responsive actions in the display message.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for controlling an operations specified by an operations checklist of an aircraft are provided. A method can include providing a user interface for display on a display screen. The user interface can include a checklist having one or more checklist items and can present an interactive virtual element in conjunction with each checklist item. Each checklist item and virtual element can be associated with a task to be performed for operation of an aircraft. The virtual elements can be visual representations of physical control interfaces associated with the task. The method can include receiving data indicative of a user interaction with at least one virtual element. In response, the method can further include sending one or more command signals to one or more aircraft control devices to perform at least a portion of the task associated with the at least one virtual element.
