METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INPUTTING AND CONTROLLING FLIGHT DATA

摘要

The invention relates to air navigation assistance methods and devices, used in flight management systems on board aircraft. To facilitate the work of the pilot, the onboard computer (FMS) communicates with the pilot through a display and data input console (MCDU). This console displays a list of tasks to be executed in the form of a series of selectable and activatable main zones (40). Each zone corresponds to a task to be executed through the console, and when the task has been executed (validation key actuated by the pilot), the task-list is redisplayed, the zone for which the task has been executed and validated appearing in a different colour from the other zones. The zones preferably appear in duplicate (40, 50) when there is a co-pilot and it can clearly be seen which tasks have been executed and by which pilot, and which tasks remain to be executed.
