Abstract: A method (400), a system and a computer program product are disclosed for graphically displaying air traffic control information in an air traffic control system. Information about objects in an air traffic control environment is compiled and calculated (410). Tokens (e.g., text, icons, images, or other symbols) corresponding to the objects in the air traffic control environment are displayed (420). At least two objects are selectively designated (430) in combination as a source object and a target object connected by a bearing and range line token (210, 220, 230, 240). Air traffic control information (212, 222, 232, 242) about the combination of objects associated with the bearing and range line token dependent upon the combination of objects designated in the combination is displayed (440). The displayed air traffic control information is required decision making information to enable an air traffic controller to manage air traffic.

Abstract: An air traffic control apparatus comprises a display device for graphically displaying air traffic control information and items of anticipated event information about air traffic; a memory device for storing data and instructions for operating the apparatus; and a processor coupled to the display device and the memory device. The processor causes the display device to display the items of anticipated event information, a time-line and an indication of current time on said time-line in an agenda window. The items of anticipated event information include anticipated time information. The items of anticipated event information are arranged against the time-line in accordance with the anticipated time information of the items of anticipated event information. A section of said time-line includes the current time and a specific period of time in future in relation to the current time. The items of anticipated event information corresponding to the section of the time-line are displayed in the agenda window.
