  • Patent number: 12367779
    Abstract: A system may include a display and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: obtain a Notice to Air Mission (NOTAM); extract information from the NOTAM, the information including information of a runway displaced threshold of the runway and/or a landing distance available on the runway; generate a NOTAM file including the information; update runway overrun awareness and alerting system (ROAAS) data to include a current runway displaced threshold value and a current landing distance available value based on the information of the NOTAM file; generate a ROAAS image, wherein the ROAAS image graphically and/or textually depicts a view indicative of the current runway displaced threshold value and the current landing distance available value; and output the ROAAS image to the display.

  • Patent number: 9921714
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for managing a graphical interface viewable on a display. The method may include the step of presenting a plurality of layout options, a layout option is at least one of a full window layout or a divided window layout. The method may also include the step of receiving a selection of a layout option from the plurality of layout options. A further step of the method includes presenting a preview of the selected layout option on the display. The method also includes the step of presenting a plurality of icons, each icon corresponding to an application. A further step of the method includes receiving a selection of an icon for display within the selected layout option, the selected icon being compatible for display in the selected layout option.
