Methods and apparatus are provided for airspace navigation. Airspace navigation information for an aircraft is displayed in a first mode, such as, in a horizontal mode. One or more navigation events may then be detected, such as, proximity to a terrain feature, weather, traffic etc. The airspace navigation information for the aircraft is then displayed using dual modes, e.g., a horizontal mode and a vertical mode. Display parameters, such as colors, resolution, distance, scale, etc. may be set automatically or by a user. The display may also include information, such as avionics systems information, and communications information.

Methods and apparatus for airspace navigation

Methods and apparatus are provided for automated flight preparation. Methods and apparatus may be used to automatically determine gross weight, weight and balance, take-off distance, rate-of-climb, and flight dynamics, such as fuel, time and distance for an aircraft. In addition, information such as airspeed system calibration, and power-off stall speed in angle of bank may be calculated.
