IMPROVED METHOD FOR MANAGEMENT OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER DATABASE USED FOR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTER LOGON

摘要

An avionics system includes a human-machine interface (HMI), wherein the HMIincludes a display device that displays information to an operator and aninput device thatreceives input from an operator; a storage device that stores master airtraffic control (ATC)center data; a memory device that stores separately loaded ATC center data andhard-codedATC center data, and a processing device communicatively coupled to the HMI,the storagedevice and the memory device. The processing device compares the separatelyloaded ATCcenter data with the hard-coded ATC center data; requests operator validationof changesbetween the separately loaded ATC center data and the hard-coded ATC centerdata using theHMI; and updates the master ATC center data when the operator validates thechangesbetween the separately loaded ATC center data and the hard-coded ATC centerdata.
