Patent number: 11083041Abstract: A method for integration of a portable electronic device (PED) with a flight deck display in some embodiments includes providing an onboard network coupled to a flight-deck-installed, multi-function display and coupling the PED to the onboard network. The method may also include receiving information from a PED hosted application in the PED, routing information through a gateway and/or a plurality of firewalls, and displaying information on the flight-deck-installed, multi-function display. In some embodiments, a pilot control interface is coupled to the PED through the onboard network, and a plurality of functions on the PED is controlled via the pilot control interface. An airplane in some embodiments includes a fuselage portion, a wing portion, and a system that carries out the method, possibly through use of computer readable storage medium with stored instructions.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Peter James Batsakes, David E. Stulken, Paul Burkhead

Patent number: 10175388Abstract: Method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for displaying weather data on a computer display screen. Weather data for use in a flight of an aircraft is received. The weather data is updated at a first rate. The weather data is separated into weather data layers for a plurality of ranges of altitude. Each weather data layer corresponds to a respective one of the plurality of ranges of altitude, and the weather data is separated at the first rate. Embodiments monitor for a selection of at least one of the weather data layers. The monitoring is performed periodically at a second rate, and the second rate is faster than the first rate. Weather data in the selected at least one of the weather data layers is prepared for display and the weather data is output for display on a display screen in the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: January 8, 2019Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David Eugene Stulken, Peter James Batsakes

Patent number: 9958573Abstract: Method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for displaying weather data on a computer display screen. Received weather data can be parsed into weather data layers, based on ranges of altitude. The weather data can be separated into different weather products. A pilot can select products and altitude ranges for weather data to be displayed. Additional products and altitude ranges can be suggested to pilots based on detected weather hazards located outside of the pilot-selected products and altitude range. Additional products and altitude ranges can be automatically displayed on the display screen for severe weather hazards. A flight plan for the aircraft can be automatically recalculated to avoid a weather hazard. Parsing of the weather data can be performed at a first rate commensurate with a rate at which the weather data is received. Further processing based on pilot selections can occur at a second faster rate.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: David Eugene Stulken, Peter James Batsakes

Patent number: 9031716Abstract: A system and method for handling information for use on a flight deck network on an aircraft. Information is received from a number of information sources. The number of information sources is not part of the flight deck network. The flight deck network is a certified network. It is determined whether the information is approved to be used on the flight deck network. A manner in which the information is allowed to be used on the flight deck network is also determined. Responsive to a determination that the information is approved to be used on the flight deck network, the information is sent to the flight deck network during operation of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Robert James Myers, Timothy William Anstey, Peter James Batsakes

Patent number: 8660716Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are described herein for providing comparative vertical situation displays of multiple flight routes. According to embodiments presented herein, information regarding a currently active flight route of an aircraft and one or more proposed alternate flight routes is combined with airborne constraint data to display a comparative vertical situation display for each of the active route and/or the proposed routes. Each of the comparative vertical situation displays shows the vertical component of the corresponding flight route along with the vertical components of one or more airborne constraints along the corresponding flight route. The comparative vertical situation displays are concurrently shown on a display unit, allowing the flight crew of the aircraft or route planning personnel to compare the impact of the airborne constraints along the vertical component of each of the flight routes.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2010Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Timothy F.
