主权项 1. A method of visually organizing an aviation chart onboard an aircraft, the aviation chart including a first portion that includes a first plurality of objects and a first background, the aviation chart further including a second portion that includes a second object and a second background, the method executed by a processor based device, the method comprising: receiving, from a pilot, an emphasis preference for a particular object, the emphasis preference configured to be applied after a missed approach of a defined flight path of the aircraft; selecting, by the processor, a group of related objects based on the particular object, the group of related objects being selected from the first plurality of objects; accepting the group of related objects, the accepted group of related objects being assembled into the aviation chart; accepting the emphasis preference for the accepted group of related objects and the particular object to be included in the aviation chart; accepting a pilot-provided de-emphasis preferences for data and information to be presented in the aviation chart; identifying, by the processor, a triggering event, the triggering event indicating that the aircraft has missed the approach; and in response to identifying the triggering event: automatically applying the emphasis preference to the accepted group of related objects and the particular object in the aviation chart without user intervention, thereby providing an enhanced aviation chart for the pilot, wherein applying the emphasis preference includes applying a first color to the first background, wherein the first color facilitates emphasizing the particular object and a first set of the group of related objects; and automatically applying the pilot-provided de-emphasis preferences to the aviation chart, wherein applying the user-provided de-emphasis preferences includes applying one of the first color or a second color to a second set of the group of related objects, wherein the first color or the second color de-emphasizes the second set of the group of related objects, and applying a third color to the second background, wherein the third color facilitates de-emphasizing the second object.
