SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERY OF NON-TEXTUAL CONTROLLER PILOT DATA LINK COMMUNICATION (CPDLC) FOR PILOT REVIEW

摘要

An avionics system comprises a control device having an input/output interfacetoreceive a Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) message; a textual-based Human-Machine Interface (HMI) coupled to the control device, the textual-based HMI operable to display textual content in the received CPDLC messagebasedon instructions from the control device; and a graphical display unit coupledto thecontrol device. The control device is operable to determine if graphicalcontent iscontained in the received CPDLC message. If the received CPDLC messagecontainsgraphical content, the control device is operable to send the graphicalcontent to thegraphical display unit and to provide instructions to the textual-based HMI todisplaya notification that the received CPDLC message contains graphical content.
