Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved user interfaces and mechanisms associated with controlling a vehicle. Some such embodiments provide a decluttered user interface that dynamically updates to provide detailed element(s) utilized to convey particular details of vehicle operation and/or adjust operation of the vehicle. Some embodiments cause rendering of an indicator associated with a value tape set to an invisible state, cause visibility of the value tape in response to interaction data, update the value tape upon second interaction data with the indicator, and set at least one value in response to third interaction data with the indicator and set the value tape back to an invisible state. In this regard, in some embodiments the user interface remains operable while simultaneously reducing the number of interface elements required to be rendered at a given time.

A flight deck system for providing task management assistance in managing the flight path to the flight crew is provided. The system is configured to: mine flight plan data for a current flight plan, navigational data, and vertical situation display (VSD) data; obtain notification data items originating from onboard avionics systems and systems external to the aircraft that indicate upcoming conditions that will affect the current flight plan; automatically analyze the mined flight plan data and the notification data items to identify a sensed deviation condition; automatically identify an aircraft-related deviation condition from an aircraft failure event; receive flight crew notification of a non-sensed deviation condition; automatically generate a plurality of flight plan deviation options to accommodate a sensed deviation condition, an aircraft-related deviation condition, or a non-sensed deviation condition; and present graphical elements representative of the flight plan deviation options to the flight crew on an integrated interactive graphical user interface.

Systems and methods for providing deviation assistance on an integrated flight management display

A method for providing task management assistance in managing the flight path to the flight crew is provided. The method comprises: mining flight plan data and navigational data from an aircraft system; obtaining notification data items originating from systems external to the aircraft; determining an estimated flight time to reach each of the plurality of waypoints, course data items, and the upcoming conditions; causing a timeline graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed on an aircraft display, wherein the timeline GUI is configured to display a timeline, waypoint graphical elements representative of the waypoints, course data item graphical elements representative of the other course data items, and notification data item graphical elements representative of the upcoming conditions; automatically analyzing the mined flight plan data and the notification data items to determine if deviation from the flight plan is suggested; and providing a notification of the suggested deviation from when deviation is suggested.

Systems and methods for providing an integrated flight management display with interactive time-based functionality

A method for monitoring the health of a rotating machine mounted on a vehicle is disclosed. The method may include: receiving identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and a portable vibration sensor mounted on the rotating machine; receiving vibration data from the portable vibration sensor during a test of the rotating machine, the received vibration data being associated with the identifying information of the vehicle, the rotating machine, and the portable vibration sensor; comparing the received vibration data with known vibration data for the rotating machine; generating an alert if the received vibration data exceeds a predetermined threshold value of the known vibration data; generating a health report for the rotating machine based on the received vibration data; and transmitting the health report to a user via a web portal.
