Methods and systems for managing the orientation of the display of an aeronautical chart, notably towards Magnetic North or True North are provided. Rotational and/or translational tactile movements may manage the display of the chart. In one advantageous embodiment, the display screen is a haptic feedback screen (for example piezoelectric or MEMS microactuators), the North symbol rendered in relief is able to be manipulated with a single finger and the display device is stabilized by at least partially compensating for the turbulence experienced by the cockpit. Some software aspects are described.

System and method for managing the display of an aeronautical chart

This method of managing the display of an aeronautical map from cartographical data is implemented by an electronic management device and comprises the following steps:

Method and electronic device for managing the display of an aeronautical map, related computer program and display system

An aeronautical software application development workbench handling the production of a graphical human-machine interface on one or more display equipment systems comprises computer means processing software tools for creating, simulating or integrating graphical functions or 'widgets' and logic functions for modifying the content of the graphical functions according to incoming events on the display equipment system or systems, said widgets being described in a file called 'Definition File'. The workbench includes a single graphical editor for designing the user application, the technical characteristic of which is to produce a structured language which describes each widget contained in the definition file and which associates consumed variables called &#x201c;input plugs&#x201d; with the modifiable attributes of said widget and produced variables called &#x201c;output plugs&#x201d; with the notifications of the events produced by said widget.
