MIXED-INTIATIVE TRANSFER OF DATALINK-BASED INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method for transferring datalink-based information into an aircraft flight management system, comprising the steps of:
- receiving a datalink message in an aircraft;
parsing the received datalink message into individual information elements;
determining, from the individual information elements, the operational impact of the received datalink message on the aircraft;
determining, from the determined operational impact, a method of supplying pilot feedback regarding the received datalink message;
supplying the pilot feedback regarding the received datalink message using the determined method; and
selectively transferring at least selected portions of the individual information elements into the aircraft flight management system (FMS).

Abstract
A system and method are provided for transferring datalink-based information into an aircraft flight management system. When a datalink message is received in an aircraft, it is parsed into individual information elements. The operational impact of the received datalink message on the aircraft is determined from the individual information elements. A method of supplying pilot feedback regarding the received datalink message is determined from the determined operational impact. The pilot feedback regarding the received datalink message is supplied using the determined method. At least selected portions of the individual information elements are selectively transferred into the aircraft flight management system (FMS).

11. An avionics system, comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive a datalink message; and a processor in operable communication with the receiver and configured to; parse each of the received datalink message into individual information elements; determine, from the individual information elements, the operational impact of the received datalink message on the aircraft; determine, from the determined operational impact, a method of supplying pilot feedback regarding the received datalink message; and selectively transfer at least selected portions of the individual information elements into the aircraft flight management system (FMS). - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
