Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a system for integration of portable devices with flight deck displays. The method for integration of a portable electronic device (PED) with a flight deck display in some embodiments includes providing an onboard network coupled to a flight-deck-installed, multi-function display and coupling the PED to the onboard network. The method may also include receiving information from a PED hosted application in the PED, routing information through a gateway and/or a plurality of firewalls, and displaying information on the flight-deck-installed, multi-function display. In some embodiments, a pilot control interface is coupled to the PED through the onboard network, and a plurality of functions on the PED is controlled via the pilot control interface. An airplane in some embodiments includes a fuselage portion, a wing portion, and a system that carries out the method, possibly through use of computer readable storage medium with stored instructions.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an airplane, and more specifically, to the use of a fight deck multifunctional display to distribute various information to the flight crew of the airplane. Background technique [0002] Modern commercial aircraft include many avionics display systems and electronic control systems. The use of this system is regulated and approved by regulatory authorities around the world. Such systems are classified by these regulatory agencies according to the hazard levels presented by the aircraft in flight when the system fails. As an example, if the failure of the system will be very serious or catastrophic, the system can be certified as an "A-level" certified system. If a system failure presents a minor hazard that can be reasonably handled by appropriately trained and alert crew members, the system can be classified as a "Class D" certified system. The B-level certification system and the C-level certification system are between...
