Abstract
Systems and methods for on-demand enabling of display features for an avionic display in an aircraft while the aircraft is in flight. The method includes rendering the avionic display in accordance with a configuration file that specifies for each display feature of a plurality of display features, whether the display feature is enabled or disabled. When a feature trigger is received, the method determines when a display feature associated with the feature trigger is disabled in the configuration file and generates a notification that the display feature is disabled but available. The display feature can be enabled based on a pilot override. A fault code indicating that the display feature was enabled and an aircraft location at which the display feature was enabled is generated in the configuration file. The fault code can be reported to a subscription service when the flight has ended.
