SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING A DATALINK MESSAGE LOG ON A FORWARD FIELD-OF-VIEW DISPLAY
First Claim
1. An avionics system for displaying a Forward Field-of-View log of data link communication messages on-board an aircraft, the system comprising:
- a processor executing a Datalink Message Log Function that manages a datalink message log, the Datalink Message Log Function in communication with at least one on-board memory storage device storing Datalink Message Data; and
a human machine interface device in communication with the Datalink Message Log Function, the human machine interface device comprising a Forward Field-of-View Display presenting a first screen that displays a log of datalink messages from the Datalink Message Data;
wherein at least one entry of the log of datalink messages is presented in the first screen in a collapsed form and at least one entry for an active datalink message is presented in the first screen in an expanded form.

15. A method for displaying a Forward Field-of-View log of datalink communication messages on-board an aircraft, the method comprising:
-
presenting a log of datalink messages on a screen of a Forward Field-of-View Display, wherein the first screen that displays the log of datalink messages includes a plurality of blocks, each of the plurality of blocks providing a message slot displaying information for one datalink message from Datalink Message Data stored on-board an aircraft; displaying at least one active datalink message in a first block of the plurality of blocks, where the at least one active datalink message is displayed in an expanded form on the Forward Field-of-View Display; and displaying at least one non-active datalink message in a second block of the plurality of blocks in a collapsed form on the Forward Field-of-View Display. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
