A flight management system includes a display for displaying a user interface and a processor coupled with the display and configured to receive flight plan information regarding a flight plan of an aircraft and aircraft status information from an aircraft monitoring system. The processor generates an alert indicating a deviation from the flight plan based on a comparison of the aircraft status information to the flight plan information, and provides the alert on a portion of the user interface displaying information indicative of the aircraft status information. The alert provides one or more user interface controls configured to enable a pilot to interact with the portion of the user interface displaying the information indicative of the aircraft status information to at least one of view additional information regarding the difference between the status information and the flight plan information and modify the flight plan of the aircraft.

Flight management system and flight plan alert integration systems and methods

An audio sequencing device includes an input circuit, a prioritizing circuit, a playback circuit, and an output circuit. The input circuit is receives a first audio signal from a first audio source and a second audio signal from a second audio source. The prioritizing circuit assigns a first priority to the first audio signal and a second priority to the second audio signal. The playback circuit sequences at least one of the audio signals based on at least one of an order of receiving the audio signals and the assigned priorities. The output circuit transmits the audio signals to a user device one at a time based on the sequence and the assigned priorities of the audio signals.
