Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the limited "real estate" available on the flight bridge, the requirement to display such a text-based message to the flight crew and also allow the crew to respond can be challenging for flight bridges, especially small aircraft. Flight bridge design poses challenges

Embodiment Construction

[0036] During operation of the aircraft, the flight crew operating the aircraft may receive messages in text form. These messages may include information provided by air traffic management agencies, corporate agencies, weather services, and the like. One type of message that may be received is a "Controller-Pilot Data Link Communication" (CPDLC) message. CPDLC messages include information related to flight plan changes, takeoff and landing instructions. While the foregoing discussion has primarily focused on CPDLC messages, it should be understood that the systems and methods discussed herein may be applied to other text-based communications between aircrew and related agencies. In some embodiments, the systems and methods disclosed herein may allow for the selective display of CPDLC messages to the flight crew without requiring a permanent footprint on the flight bridge dedicated to the CPDLC window.

Abstract

Systems and methods for assisting a flight crew of an aircraft with controller-pilot data link communication (CPDLC) are provided. A display device defines a display area on a flight deck of the aircraft. A controller is operatively coupled to the display device and configured to control a presence of a CPDLC window containing a CPDLC message in the display area. A plurality of tactile buttons aredisposed proximally to each other on a glare shield panel of the flight deck. The plurality of tactile buttons comprises a first tactile button operatively coupled to the controller for selectively instructing the controller to cause the presence of the CPDLC window in the display area by actuation of the first tactile button, and a second tactile button configured to permit the flight crew to respond to the CPDLC message by actuation of the second tactile button.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This international PCT patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 608,926, filed December 21, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to aircraft, and more particularly to avionics systems of aircraft. Background technique [0004] Traditionally, the means used to facilitate communication between aircrew and authorities on the ground has primarily been voice-based communication, but text-based communication methods are now becoming preferred. Not only do text-based communication methods allow aircrews to receive information from multiple sources at roughly the same time and reduce the risk of misunderstanding, they are also capable of automating various air traffic control processes. So, instead of requiring individuals to communicate verbally with the crew, the computer system...
