  • Patent number: 11995993
    Abstract: A crew alerting system for a mobile platform includes a display device defining a display area, a processor operatively coupled to the display device, and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: upon receiving notification of an occurrence of a manual system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a first output for causing the display device to display a first indication in the display area, the first indication comprising a first textual message. The processor is further configured to, upon receiving notification of an occurrence of an automated system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a second output for causing the display device to display a second indication in the display area, the second indication comprising a second textual message accompanied by a supplemental indication such as a graphical indication.
