Altimeter setting display and storage system and method
First Claim
1. An aircraft display system, comprising:
- a display device; and
a processor in operable communication with the display device, the processor adapted to receive an altimeter setting signal representative of an altimeter setting value and an altimeter value toggle signal and configured to command the display device to;
(i) simultaneously render an altimeter and an active altimeter setting field,(ii) at least selectively render a standby altimeter setting field simultaneously with the altimeter and the active altimeter setting field,(iii) in response to receipt of the altimeter setting signal, selectively render the altimeter setting value as either (a) an active altimeter setting value in the active altimeter setting field or (b) as a stored altimeter setting value in the standby altimeter setting field, and(iv) in response to receipt of the altimeter value toggle signal, to selectively command the display device to render the stored altimeter setting value in the active altimeter setting field.

Abstract
A system and method for storing altimeter setting values on an aircraft display includes simultaneously rendering an altimeter and an active altimeter setting field, and selectively rendering a standby altimeter setting field simultaneously with the altimeter and the active altimeter setting field. An active altimeter setting value is rendered in the active altimeter setting field, and a stored altimeter setting value may be rendered in the standby altimeter setting field. Preferably, the stored altimeter setting value is selectively rendered in the standby altimeter setting field when the standby altimeter setting field is simultaneously rendered with the altimeter and the active altimeter setting field.

20. An aircraft display system, comprising:
-
a display device; and a processor in operable communication with the display device, the processor adapted to receive an altimeter setting signal representative of an altimeter setting value and configured to determine when aircraft altitude transitions from above a predetermined transition altitude to below the predetermined transition altitude and further configured to command the display device to; (i) simultaneously render an altimeter and an active altimeter setting field, (ii) at least selectively render a standby altimeter setting field simultaneously with the altimeter and the active altimeter setting field, (iii) in response to receipt of the altimeter setting signal, selectively render the altimeter setting value as either (a) an active altimeter setting value in the active altimeter setting field or (b) as a stored altimeter setting value in the standby altimeter setting field, and (iv) command the display device to render the stored altimeter setting value in the active altimeter setting field when the aircraft altitude transitions below the predetermined transition altitude.
