1. A method of controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle, comprising:
- determining a plurality of electronic checklists based on unmanned aerial vehicle data;
generating a menu comprising menu items associated with each of the plurality of electronic checklists;
rendering, on a user interface configured to represent controls for the unmanned aerial vehicle, an electronic checklist comprising a plurality of steps for controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle, wherein the rendering comprises generating the electronic checklist in response to a user selection of a menu item associated with the electronic checklist from among the menu items;
detecting, by the user interface, one or more of a user selection of a step from among the plurality of steps, display preferences, or rearrangement of the plurality of steps;
presenting, on the user interface, information associated with the user selection, wherein the information comprises a control that, when activated, manipulates a component configured on the unmanned aerial vehicle; and
saving the user selection as a display configuration data file for subsequent retrieval to recreate an associated display configuration.

Abstract
A user interface presented to an operator of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be presented to facilitate the ease of operation of the UAV. The information displayed in the user interface may be customized by the operator to display selected data. The display configuration data may be saved and imported into other systems for future use. Various entities related to one or more UAVs may be presented in a hierarchical tree structure illustrating the relationship between the entities. Electronic checklists may be presented to a user to facilitate addressing common and emergency situations.
