SYSTEM AND METHOD OF GENERATING FREE ROUTE AIRSPACE FLIGHT PLANS
A method includes receiving information of a free route airspace (FRA) downpath along a flight plan of an aircraft, and displaying, on at least one display device on the aircraft, the FRA on an avionics display. The method also includes displaying, on an avionics display of the at least one display device, a graphical user interface (GUI) showing an FRA route factor selection panel comprising multiple selectable flight plan parameter priorities available to be used to generate an FRA flight plan extending at least partially through the FRA. The method also includes receiving a selection of one or more of the FRA flight plan parameter priorities and selected by using the GUI. The method also includes displaying, on an avionics display of the at least one display device, at least one automatically generated FRA flight plan generated by using at least one of the selected flight plan parameter priorities.
AUTOMATED DISPLAY OF BRIEFING BROADCAST INFORMATION ELEMENTS FOR AN AIRCRAFT AVIONICS SYSTEM
A method for operating a computing system including one or more processors to provide a visual display of received audible broadcast information on an aircraft. Embodiments include receiving an audible aviation broadcast, translating the broadcast into text data, extracting one or more information elements from the text data, and displaying the one or more information elements in graphical form on a visual display in the aircraft. Some embodiments include displaying the information elements in text form along with associated descriptors of the information elements. Examples of the audible aviation broadcasts include an Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS) broadcast, Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) broadcast, Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) broadcast, Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) broadcast, Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET) and Airman's Meteorological Information (AIRMET) broadcast.

STREAMING IMAGE DISPLAY WITH SURROUNDING AIRCRAFT INFORMATION ANNOTATIONS FOR AN AIRCRAFT AVIONICS SYSTEM
A method for providing a streaming display with surrounding aircraft information on an aircraft. The method includes receiving a streaming image from a camera on the aircraft, receiving navigation information representative of the location and orientation of the aircraft, and receiving surrounding aircraft information associated with each of one or more surrounding aircraft. Based upon the navigation information and the surrounding aircraft information, a location of each surrounding aircraft with respect to the streaming image is determined. A surrounding aircraft identifier for each surrounding aircraft, and a surrounding aircraft-annotated streaming image based upon the streaming image are generated. The surrounding aircraft-annotated image includes each surrounding aircraft identifier, and each surrounding aircraft identifier is at a location in the surrounding aircraft-annotated streaming image corresponding to the location of the associated surrounding aircraft. The surrounding aircraft-annotated streaming image is displayed in the aircraft.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIRECTED GRAPH-BASED PRIORITIZATION OF AIRPORTS FOR TRAFFIC FLOW MODELLING
A device includes a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The processor(s) are configured to obtain historical flight data that represents a plurality of flights associated with a plurality of airports and to generate a directed graph, based on the historical flight data, that includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting pairs of nodes. The plurality of nodes correspond to the plurality of airports and the plurality of edges correspond to the plurality of flights. The processor(s) are configured to perform a ranking operation on the directed graph to identify one or more target nodes of the plurality of nodes. The one or more target nodes correspond to one or more airports of the plurality of airports. The processor(s) are configured to output a graphical user interface that indicates the one or more airports as recommended airports for modeling predicted traffic flow.
