| 20100250033 | Flight Management System Vector Functions - Disclosed is a system and method for diverting from a flight plan without adjusting an autopilot by treating a heading change as the new leg of a flight plan. The present invention allows the pilot of an aircraft to enter a heading to follow into a flight management system, which treats the heading as the current leg of a flight plan otherwise being followed by the flight management system. The present invention graphically displays the heading leg as the predicted track so that the pilot is able to see the airplane's expected path. Such a change allows the autopilot to continue following commands from the flight management system rather than being changed to a mode in which the autopilot follows heading commands directly from the pilot. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20090265088 | SYMBOLOGY FOR A FLIGHT DISPLAY - Flight display systems are provided that present a pilot with a three dimensional view of an area within a potential flight path of an aircraft. The three dimensional view may include representations of potential obstacles and avoidance zones surrounding the potential obstacles. The view may also include cardinal compass representation aligned with the visual horizon. Aircraft traffic obstacle symbols may be variable based on the type of aircraft represented. | 10-22-2009 |
