A method for transferring electronic chart data during aerial vehicle operations to an avionics system is disclosed. The method includes: receiving an electronic chart file for an electronic chart; identifying a plurality of data elements in the electronic chart that contain information content for flight crew entry into avionics systems; translating each identified data element into a control element having one or more values that an avionics system will understand; associating at least one control element with an avionics system; displaying the electronic chart with the control elements; displaying a data entry graphical element, responsive to user selection of the at least one control element; and transferring avionics information from the selected control element to an avionics system associated with the control element responsive to selection of at least one selectable graphical element to change a state of an avionics system associated with at least one control element.

System and method for providing interactive electronic charts

Methods and systems for calibrating aircraft position by providing touch-enabled selection of onboard sensors on an aircraft. The method includes receiving sensor map location information for onboard sensors including N position computers, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, an inertial reference system (IRS) sensor, and a radio navigation (NAV) sensor; receiving sensor data from the onboard sensors, and configuring a user interface layout for the touch display unit presenting the onboard sensors using symbols at respective locations. Embodiments depict the sensors with intuitive symbols and provide a terrain layout in the background. The method includes interpreting a touch input from the touch-enabled display unit to select a position computer and an onboard sensor, and to calibrate the selected position computer with the selected onboard sensor and update the user interface layout to reflect the calibration, responsive to the touch input.
