Abstract: Systems and methods for navigating an aerial vehicle are provided. One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for navigating an aircraft. The method includes receiving, by one or more processors, one or more first geographic coordinates via an interface configured to receive geographic coordinates from a satellite transmission. The method includes receiving, by the one or more processors, one or more second geographic coordinates via an interface configured to receive geographic coordinates from a ground transmission. The method includes determining, by the one or more processors, that the one or more first geographic coordinates and the one or more second geographic coordinates are inconsistent. The method includes updating, by the one or more processors, a flight plan using the one or more second geographic coordinates when the one or more first geographic coordinates are inconsistent with the one or more second geographic coordinates.

Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft comprising a cockpit with a flight deck having at least one flight display, a pilot's seat facing the flight deck, and a synthetic vision system producing a synthetic image for displaying on the at least one flight display.

Abstract: A method for illustrating an aircraft flight plan comprising at least one waypoint on a flight display of a flight deck of an aircraft, where the method may include displaying on the flight display of the flight deck some type of display indicia that indicates the suitability of locations for future waypoints.

Abstract: Methods of illustrating one or more derated takeoffs of an aircraft on a runway where such illustrations are on a flight display in a cockpit of the aircraft and are based on various information and may allow pilots to make more accurate decisions related to derated takeoffs and full thrust takeoffs of the aircraft.

Abstract: A method for displaying a flight plan having at least one waypoint on a flight display of a flight deck of an aircraft having known flight constraints, including receiving a user input for a user-inputted waypoint and generating an alternative waypoint when the user-inputted waypoint is not suitable and displaying same.

Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft comprising a cockpit with a flight deck having at least one flight display, a pilot's seat facing the flight deck, and a synthetic vision system producing a synthetic image for displaying on the at least one flight display.

Abstract: A flight deck for an aircraft having a first display associated with a first pilot and displaying a first image comprising a first set of flight information for the first pilot and a second display associated with a second pilot and displaying a second image comprising a second set of flight information for the second pilot. The second display is a dual-view display simultaneously generating a third image along with the second image, with the second image viewable by the second pilot, but not the first pilot, the third image viewable by the first pilot, but not the second pilot, and the third image containing a subset of information from the second set of flight information.

Abstract: A method for selecting and displaying a flight path for an aircraft on a display of a flight deck of the aircraft that allows a user to input a selected flight path on a map displayed on the display. A final flight path will be displayed on the display of the flight deck that is based on the input of the selected flight path.

Abstract: Methods for determining suitable locations for placement of one or more flight plan waypoints for an aircraft within a volume of space. Such methods may include reducing the volume of space to be analyzed and analyzing the reduced volume of the volume of space for suitable waypoint locations according to predetermined suitability criteria.

Abstract: A method for illustrating an aircraft flight plan comprising at least one waypoint on a flight display of a flight deck of an aircraft, where the method may include displaying on the flight display of the flight deck some type of display indicia that indicates the suitability of locations for future waypoints.

Abstract: A method of displaying a flight plan on a flight display of a flight deck of an aircraft, where the method includes displaying at least a portion of the flight plan on the display and determining an unsuitability of at least a portion of the flight plan based on at least one suitability criteria.

Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft, which has a cockpit with a flight deck having at least one touch screen display includes sensing an object touching on the at least one touch screen display to define an input touch and determining whether the input touch on the at least one touch screen display is invalid.

Abstract: A flight deck for an aircraft having a first display associated with a first pilot and displaying a first image comprising a first set of flight information for the first pilot and a second display associated with a second pilot and displaying a second image comprising a second set of flight information for the second pilot.
