Abstract
An aircraft system comprising a display system, a graphical user interface, a first grouping of the controls in the graphical user interface, and a second grouping of the controls in the graphical user interface. The graphical user interface is configured to display controls on the display system. The controls are for commands sent to an auto-flight system in an aircraft that control flight of the aircraft. The first grouping of the controls is configured to control sending of the commands to the auto-flight system from a flight management system in the aircraft. The second grouping of the controls is configured to control sending of the commands to the auto-flight system from a user input to the graphical user interface.
