1. An avionics messaging system comprising:

  • a memory configured to store a plurality of pre-defined avionics message elements, wherein each of the pre-defined avionics message elements is a message element for communication from the avionics messaging system to another device;

    a display unit configured to display data;

    a user input device configured to receive input from a user; and

    a processing unit configured to output a user-customizable list of pre-defined avionics message elements to the display unit for display on the display unit, the user-customizable list comprising at least a subset of the plurality of pre-defined avionics message elements;

    wherein the user-customizable list does not comprise a hierarchal menu structure and the user-customizable list is displayed in response to user input selecting the user-customizable list for display;

    wherein the processing unit is further configured to select the pre-defined avionics message elements included in the user-customizable list displayed on the display unit based on input criteria received from the user input device;

    wherein the processing unit is further configured to provide a message composition screen to the display unit based on user input received from the user input device; and

    wherein the message composition screen corresponds to a pre-defined avionics message element selected from the user-customizable list of pre-defined avionics message elements displayed on the display unit.
