Patent Images
1. A method for using a portable, computerized aircraft flight system, comprising:
- inputting commands into a portable device;
translating the commands via the portable device into instructions executable by an aircraft;
outputting the executable instruction to the aircraft via the portable device;
allowing the aircraft to respond to the executable instructions;
receiving, reading, and interpreting data from the aircraft via the portable device; and
deciding based on the data whether to input new commands into the portable device.

Abstract
The Electronic Kit Bag (EKB) is a computerized, portable pilot “kit bag” that accepts input data, manipulates said data, and outputs solutions. The EKB consists of standard and state-of-the-art computing parts and peripherals, interfaced for maximum utility. The central operating program of the device assesses the relationships of input data through a logic based, three-dimensional decision-making algorithm. Data output is utilized either directly by the user, by the user through an aircraft system, or directly from the EKB to an aircraft system or autopilot.

29. A portable, computerized aircraft flight device, comprising:
-
hardware with one or more processors;
memory;
data input means, for permitting a user to input data;
a display for displaying data to said user;
data recording and storage means; and
a data output for permitting said user to output data;a self-powering element for electrically operating said device independent of a fixed power supply; a data input receiver that enables said portable device to receive data, wherein said data includes a first set of data from a data source in an input format compatible with said portable device and updated information; a data deliverer for delivering said input and output data to said portable device; software, including an operating system and operating program, wherein said software is stored within said memory of said portable device, said software facilitates translating received commands into instructions executable by an aircraft and calculating a second set of data that is based on said updated information; a data output transmitter that facilitates outputting said executable instruction to an aircraft; and an output interface that facilitates outputting said first set of data, said updated flight information and said second set of data from said portable device. - View Dependent Claims (30)
