Abstract
A system and method for activation of chart data via touchscreen enables a pilot to touch a system generated hotspot within the flight chart displayed on the touchscreen and thereby affecting a change in an aircraft system. The system overlays a hotspot over chart data within the flight chart and associates the hotspot and hotspot data with the chart data. Upon reception of a pilot command of selection of the hotspot, the system verifies the pilot command and interfaces with the aircraft systems to make the change in frequency, navigation, and path of the aircraft.
