Systems and methods useful in providing equivalent visual operation (EVO) for the flight crew of an aircraft independent of the actual outside weather and visibility conditions through the use of synthetic vision (SV) and enhanced vision (EV) technologies are described. The systems and methods described herein can contribute toward gaining an operational credit that can expand the operational capabilities of an aircraft. The systems and methods described herein can provide relatively simple and intuitive solutions for activating and operating such systems.

Vision guidance systems and methods for aircraft

A crew alerting system for a mobile platform includes a display device defining a display area, a processor operatively coupled to the display device, and a memory storing instructions that cause the processor to: upon receiving notification of an occurrence of a manual system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a first output for causing the display device to display a first indication in the display area, the first indication comprising a first textual message. The processor is further configured to, upon receiving notification of an occurrence of an automated system configuration associated with the mobile platform, generate a second output for causing the display device to display a second indication in the display area, the second indication comprising a second textual message accompanied by a supplemental indication such as a graphical indication.

Crew alerting systems and methods for mobile platforms

A method and apparatus for generating an interactive interface on a display of an aircraft comprising: determining that an aircraft system has a faulty condition, the aircraft system comprising a plurality of system functions, the system functions being independentlyactuatable, the determining comprising: generating an indication of which one of the system functions is associated with the faulty condition; generating the interactive interface, the interactive interface comprising a visual representation of a control panel, the control panel comprising a plurality of actuatable switches, each one of the actuatable switches being associated with a corresponding one of the system functions, the generating comprising:determining, based on the indication, which one of the actuatable switches is to be associated with a visual faulty status, and displaying, on the display, the interactive interface comprising the visual faulty status.
