Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a check-list display system (100), a method, a graphical interface (120) and a computer program product. The checklist display system, method, graphical interface and computer program product display in a first segment (202) of one page of the checklist display (200) at least one normal checklist identifier (210). The checklist display system, method, graphical interface and computer program further display in a second segment (206) of the one page of the checklist display at least one non-normal checklist identifier (220) and at least one limitation information (230) relating to one of the non-normal checklist.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A checklist display system for an aircraft comprising:
a checklist display configured to be disposed within visual proximity of an operator of the aircraft; and
a display manager for simultaneously displaying on one page of the checklist display:
a first segment of the one page displaying at least one normal checklist identifier; and
a second segment of the one page displaying at least one non-normal checklist identifier and at least one aircraft limitation information relating to the at least one non-normal checklist identifier;

wherein the normal checklist identifier designates a normal procedure which is to be routinely completed during operation of the aircraft;
wherein the non-normal checklist identifier designates a non-normal procedure which is to be completed upon receipt of an alert message, and the non-normal checklist identifier is displayed in the second segment of the one page following the receipt of the alert message; and
wherein the at least one aircraft limitation information is determined by completion of the non-normal procedure and comprises an indication of a limitation to an aircraft function;
wherein the checklist display system is configured to provide a contextual aircraft overview to the operator of the aircraft in real time during flight via the at least one aircraft limitation information and normal and the non-normal checklists identifiers;
wherein the first segment further displays on the one page for each one of the at least one normal checklist identifier a relating status, and the second segment further displays on the one page for each one of the at least one non-normal checklist identifier a relating status;
wherein the status relating to one of the at least one normal checklist identifier and the status relating to one of the at least one non-normal checklist identifier is one of started, completed, completed with deferred and overridden;
the system further comprising a graphical actuator movable on the checklist display by a user, wherein:
the display manager further displays on the checklist display a normal checklists index page navigation actuator and a non-normal checklists systems index page navigation actuator; and
the graphical actuator permits a user to navigate from the one page to a normal checklists index page and a non-normal checklists systems index page by actuating respective one of the normal checklists index page navigation actuator and the non-normal checklists systems index page navigation actuator.

2. The checklist display system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one limitation information is displayed under the relating non-normal checklist identifier.

3. The checklist display system of claim 1 , wherein the display manager comprises a graphical interface, a graphical card and an input unit, the input unit receiving the at least one normal checklist identifier, the at least one non-normal checklist identifier, and the at least one limitation information.

4. The checklist display system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one normal checklist identifier is aircraft flight phase dependent.

5. The checklist display system of claim 1 , wherein the limitation information is displayed so as to be visually associated with its relating non-normal checklist identifier.
