1. A method for displaying aircraft information, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a processor unit, a plurality of selections of pieces of dynamic information about an aircraft on a plurality of displays on a user interface, wherein the pieces of dynamic information are used to operate the aircraft and change during operation of the aircraft;
adding, by the processor unit, the pieces of dynamic information selected from the plurality of displays to a custom display on the user interface;
displaying the custom display on the user interface on a display system for the aircraft;
determining, by the processor unit, whether a number of selected events have occurred during the operation of the aircraft, wherein the number of selected events include at least one of a selected speed for the aircraft, a beginning of a selected phase of flight for the aircraft, an alert being generated, a notification being received from a ground station, and landing gear being deployed; and
storing, by the processor unit, screenshots of the custom display during the operation of the aircraft in response to a determination that any of the number of selected events has occurred.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for displaying aircraft information. A selection of a piece of dynamic information is detected about an aircraft on a first display on a user interface. The piece of dynamic information is used to operate the aircraft and changes during operation of the aircraft. The piece of dynamic information selected from the first display is added to a custom display on the user interface. The custom display is displayed on the user interface on a display system for the aircraft.

18. A custom display system for an aircraft, the custom display system comprising:
-
a display system for the aircraft; and a computer system configured to detect a plurality of selections of pieces of dynamic information about the aircraft on a plurality of displays on a user interface, wherein the pieces of dynamic information are used to operate the aircraft and change during operation of the aircraft;
add the pieces of dynamic information selected from the plurality of displays to a custom display on the user interface, wherein a number of pieces of dynamic information about the aircraft from a number of different displays is present in the custom display in addition to the pieces of dynamic information from the plurality of displays;
identify a set of functions for the pieces of dynamic information;
add the set of functions to the custom display;
display the custom display on the user interface on the display system for the aircraft;
determine whether a number of selected events have occurred during the operation of the aircraft, wherein the number of selected events include at least one of a selected speed for the aircraft, a beginning of a selected phase of flight for the aircraft, an alert being generated, a notification being received from a ground station, and landing gear being deployed; and
store screenshots of the custom display during the operation of the aircraft in response to a determination that any of the number of selected events has occurred.
