Systems and methods for presenting an RTA waypoint with associated time constraints. The system includes a flight management system (FMS) providing an assigned flight plan with a plurality of waypoints; a display device configured to render a current location and trajectory of the aircraft in a navigation display and in a vertical display; and a controller circuit. The system locates the RTA waypoint among the plurality of waypoints, as a function of the flight plan and the current location and trajectory of the aircraft. The system identifies a time constraint associated with the RTA waypoint. The system uses the time constraint to determine a type, from among an 'at', a 'before', and an &#x201c;after&#x201d;, for the RTA waypoint; and, assigns a preprogrammed visual encoding scheme for the type to the RTA waypoint. The system presents the RTA waypoint, using the visual encoding scheme, on the display device.

Methods and systems are provided for generating an animated display for an aircraft. The method comprises receiving a user request for a change in a layer shown on a display that shows a view of the flight plan data for the aircraft. The user request is received by a user interface (UI) that is part of a map layer display system located onboard the aircraft. The system determines which specific layer corresponds to user request for a change to the display. When the user request is to add the layer to the display, the opaqueness of the layer increases from zero percent to one-hundred percent. When the user request is to remove the layer from the display, the opaqueness of the layer decreases from one-hundred percent to zero percent. Finally, the system generates instructions to display the layer at the opaqueness on the display.
