First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for presenting a user-viewable visualization of an aircraft choreography of an aircraft, said apparatus comprising:
- a timeline generator configured to generate the aircraft choreography timeline, the aircraft choreography timeline including at least one choreography milestone;
an aircraft information detector configured to detect information related to the aircraft; and
a displayer configured to display a representation of the aircraft relative to the aircraft choreography timeline, at a location therealong responsive to the information detected by said aircraft information detector.

Abstract
An apparatus, and an associated method, provides a visualization of an aircraft status relative to a scheduled airline timeline for the aircraft. Input information associated with the aircraft and operations associated therewith, are provided and detected. The input information is used to generate a timeline having one or more milestones and an aircraft icon. The timeline and the aircraft icon are together displayed by a displayer. The visualization is viewable by airline personnel, permitting their viewing of the visualization.
