Electronic kit bag
First Claim
1. A portable, computerized system which accesses, organizes, manages, and manipulates flight data and functions, resulting in output displayed and accessible by a user, comprising:
- a portable device having,hardware with a processor;
memory;
data input means, for permitting said user to input data;
means for data manipulation;
data access means for displaying data to said user;
means for data recording and storage; and
data output means for permitting said user to output data;
a self-powering element for operating said device independent of a fixed power supply;
a data input receiver that enables said portable device to receive data, wherein said data includes a first data from a data source in an input format and updated information;
data delivery means for delivering said data to said portable device;
software, including an operating system and operating program, wherein said software is stored within said memory;
an output interface that facilitates outputting said first data, said updated information and a second data from said portable device,wherein the data is manipulated internally and integrated through at least one of a linear, or multi-level, cross-access texotrix methodology to provide up-to-the minute operating information; and
wherein an operator can access the means for data manipulation and manipulate said data at any point;
wherein the device can manipulate data in a non-linear algorithm, aggregating and sorting choices;
wherein the device interfaces with and manipulates an operating system of the aircraft.

Abstract
The Electronic Kit Bag (EKB) is a computerized, portable pilot “kit bag” that accepts input data, manipulates said data, and outputs solutions. The EKB consists of standard and state-of-the-art computer parts and peripherals, interfaced for maximum utility. The central operating program of the device assesses the relationships of input data through logic based, three-dimensional decision-making algorithm. Data output is utilized either directly by the user, by the user through an aircraft system, or directly from the EKB to an aircraft system or autopilot.
