Abstract
A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for reducing pilot interaction between pages presented on the screen of a display unit are disclosed. The system comprises a source for providing pilot input data, a window generator ('WG'), processor, and a display unit; the system could also comprise an aural alert unit. Data received from the pilot input source includes data responsive to a pilot's interaction with one or more graphical user interfaces ('GUIs'). After receiving the input data, the WG generates window image data representative of a window, one or more menus, a front page integrated with at least front page GUI, and one or more window GUIs. Then, the display unit receives the window image data and presents the information on the display unit. Additionally, the WG generates aural alert data. An aural alert unit receives the aural alert data and aurally presents the alert.
