AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCED WAYPOINT LIST DISPLAY

摘要

An aircraft system includes a flight management system configured to generate a flight plan with a plurality of waypoints. The aircraft system includes a processing unit configured to receive the flight plan and to generate display commands representing the flight plan as a list of the waypoints. The aircraft system further includes a display device configured to receive the display commands and render a first area with a portion of the list of waypoints and a scroll bar adjacent the first area. The scroll bar includes a scrolling region and a scroll indicator positioned within the scrolling region based on user input to modify the portion of the list displayed in the first area. The display device is further configured to render first symbology within the scrolling region that represents a first characteristic associated with at least one of the waypoints in the flight plan.
