Abstract: Methods and systems for calibrating aircraft position by providing touch-enabled selection of onboard sensors on an aircraft. The method includes receiving sensor map location information for onboard sensors including N position computers, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, an inertial reference system (IRS) sensor, and a radio navigation (NAV) sensor; receiving sensor data from the onboard sensors, and configuring a user interface layout for the touch display unit presenting the onboard sensors using symbols at respective locations. Embodiments depict the sensors with intuitive symbols and provide a terrain layout in the background. The method includes interpreting a touch input from the touch-enabled display unit to select a position computer and an onboard sensor, and to calibrate the selected position computer with the selected onboard sensor and update the user interface layout to reflect the calibration, responsive to the touch input.
