  • Patent number: 5208590
    Abstract: A flight-worthy electronics system connecting the airborne electronics of a passenger aircraft to the visual display system of the aircraft provides passengers with a variety of information tailored to phases of the flight plan of the aircraft. For each phase of the flight plan, a different sequence of information is displayed. Thus, for example, during takeoff, the system may display a map showing the flight plan of the aircraft, whereas during descent, the system may alternately display the distance to destination and time to destination. Other information that may be displayed, as desired, is outside air temperature, altitude, and time or distance to a point of interest. The system causes these sequences of displays to appear automatically as determined by the preprogramming of the system.
