An aircraft display and control system (100) generally includes a processor (106), a cursor control and selection device (104), an aeronautical information database (110), a geographic database (108), and a plurality of display devices (114). Users (102), such as an aircraft pilot and copilot, can perform flight plan entry and modification by manipulating graphical information on the display devices using cursor control. In one embodiment, the present invention allows multiple membes of an aircraft crew to share control of common flight information display areas, aids the crew's situational awareness by providing software-implemented dynatic symbology and highlighting to indicate cursor location, current panel of entry, and current focus for keyboard and cursor events. |
