METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO GENERATE THE ATC CENTER NAMES LIST BASED ON AT LEAST ONE FLIGHT PLAN
First Claim
1. A method to provide access to air traffic control centers to a crew member for context management (CM) logon, the method comprising:
- accessing a flight plan for an aircraft at a processor;
accessing a listing of air traffic control centers;
generating a subset of the air traffic control centers at the processor, the generating being based on at least one of;
an ATC-center authority coverage area overlapping a flight path associated with the flight plan; and
a pre-selected distance from the flight path; and
displaying the subset of the air traffic control centers as at least a part of a prioritized listing of the air traffic control centers on a display for the crew member.

Abstract
A method to provide access to air traffic control centers to a crew member for context management (CM) logon is provided. The method includes accessing a flight plan for an aircraft at a processor; accessing a listing of air traffic control centers; generating a subset of the air traffic control centers at the processor; and displaying the subset of the air traffic control centers as at least a part of a prioritized listing of the air traffic control centers on a display for the crew member. The generating is based on at least one of: an ATC-center authority coverage area overlapping a flight path associated with the flight plan; and a pre-selected distance from the flight path.
