Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for displaying and receiving tactical and strategic flight guidance information are disclosed. A method in accordance with one aspect of the invention includes displaying at least one first indicator to an operator of the aircraft, with a first indicator corresponding to a first instruction input by the operator for directing a first aircraft behavior and implemented upon receiving an activation instruction from the operator. At least one second indicator corresponding to a second instruction for directing a second aircraft behavior at least proximately the same as the first aircraft behavior is displayed, with the at least one second instruction to be automatically implemented at a future time. The at least one second indicator is at least approximately the same as the at least one first indicator. Indicators can be hierarchically organized to simplify presentation and reduce pilot training time.

41. An aircraft system including a computer-readable medium having contents that perform a method, comprising:
-
receiving an input corresponding to a target for directing an aircraft; when the target is in a first direction relative to a current position of the aircraft, displaying a first indicator corresponding to an instruction for directing the aircraft to move toward the target; and when the target is in a second direction opposite the first direction, displaying a second indicator corresponding to an instruction for directing the aircraft to move toward the target, the second indicator being different than the first indicator. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
