First Claim
Patent Images
1. A pilot-centered method for decluttering an aircraft display, the method executable by a processor and comprising:
- obtaining chart data from a chart data source;
obtaining flight data comprising a flight path from a flight data source;
obtaining user input data from a user interface;
generating, by the processor, in response to the user input data, blended chart data and flight data; and
displaying symbology on the aircraft display that is graphically representative of the blended chart data and flight data.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for decluttering an aircraft display. Chart data, flight data and user input data are obtained. User input data reflects pilot preferences. A modified combination of chart data and flight data is generated in response to user input data. Symbology that is graphically representative of the modified combination is displayed.
