Integrated system for providing a journey log display and the automatic reporting thereof
First Claim
1. An integrated system for providing a reporting point journey log display in an aircraft and for providing the automatic transfer and installation of a reporting point journey log in a ground retention application, comprising:
- a) means for procuring and aggregating reporting point on-board aircraft data from aircraft systems;
b) means for generating a reporting point cockpit message and readback script from said aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data, wherein said readback script comprises a definable display format having customizable formatting in accordance with operator preference and local reporting standards, said display format including data selected from the set of airplane data comprising flight level, winds, time at reporting point crossing, coordinates of reporting point, time to next reporting point and location of next reporting point, and follow on reporting point; and
,wherein said means for generating a reporting point cockpit message and readback script comprises a configurable event trigger mechanism for the auto generation thereof, said trigger mechanism having a trigger including time deltas, position deltas, and temperature deltas;
c) means for automatically transmitting said aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data to a receiving ground application for assembling the data into the form of a reporting point journey log; and
,d) means for installing said reporting point journey log into a ground storage application.

Abstract
An integrated system for providing a reporting point journey log display in an aircraft and for providing the automatic transfer and installation of a reporting point journey log in a ground retention application. The integrated system includes means for procuring and aggregating reporting point on-board aircraft data from aircraft systems. Means are provided for generating a reporting point cockpit message and readback script from the aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data. The aggregated reporting point onboard aircraft data is automatically transmitted to a receiving ground application for assembling the data into the form of a reporting point journey log. The reporting point journey log is installed into a ground storage application.
