Flight management system and flight plan alert integration systems and methods
First Claim
1. A flight management system, comprising:
- a display configured to display a user interface; and
at least one processor with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code for causing the at least one processor to;
receive flight plan information regarding a flight plan of an aircraft;
receive aircraft status information from an aircraft monitoring system;
generate an alert indicating a deviation from the flight plan based on a comparison of the aircraft status information to the flight plan information; and
provide the alert on a portion of the user interface by emphasizing an interactive element displayed on the user interface, the interactive element displaying information related to the aircraft status information,the interactive element configured to be selected by a pilot to at least one of view additional information regarding the alert and to modify the flight plan of the aircraft to change the aircraft status information.

Abstract
A flight management system includes a display for displaying a user interface and a processor coupled with the display and configured to receive flight plan information regarding a flight plan of an aircraft and aircraft status information from an aircraft monitoring system. The processor generates an alert indicating a deviation from the flight plan based on a comparison of the aircraft status information to the flight plan information, and provides the alert on a portion of the user interface displaying information indicative of the aircraft status information. The alert provides one or more user interface controls configured to enable a pilot to interact with the portion of the user interface displaying the information indicative of the aircraft status information to at least one of view additional information regarding the difference between the status information and the flight plan information and modify the flight plan of the aircraft.

12. A method for integrating a flight plan of an aircraft with an alerting system of an aircraft, comprising:
-
receiving flight plan information regarding a flight plan of an aircraft; receiving aircraft status information from an aircraft monitoring system; generating an alert indicating a deviation from the flight plan based on a comparison of the aircraft status information to the flight plan information; and providing the alert on a portion of a user interface by emphasizing an interactive element displayed on the user interface, the interactive element displaying information related to the aircraft status information, the interactive element configured to be selected by a pilot to at least one of view additional information regarding the alert and to modify the flight plan of the aircraft to change the aircraft status information. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A flight management system, comprising:
-
a flight plan system configured to generate a flight plan for an aircraft, the flight plan comprising a plurality of aircraft parameters for a plurality of flight segments; an alerting system configured to detect one or more conditions relating to the aircraft and aircraft operation; a display system configured to provide a user interface for a flight display of the aircraft, the user interface including multiple portions, each portion relating to a particular aspect of the aircraft operation; and at least one processor with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code for causing the at least one processor to; receive flight plan information regarding a flight plan of the aircraft; receive aircraft status information from an aircraft monitoring system; generate an alert indicating a deviation from the flight plan based on a comparison of the aircraft status information to the flight plan information; and provide the alert on a portion of the user interface by emphasizing an interactive element displayed on the user interface, the interactive element displaying information related to the aircraft status information, the interactive element configured to be selected by a pilot to at least one of view additional information regarding the alert and to modify the flight plan of the aircraft to change the aircraft status information. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
