Claim 10:
11. A method for a transcription system for an aircraft, the method comprising:
generating an ownship call sign list that includes a plurality of potential ownship call signs that may be used in messages from ATC directed to an ownship, the plurality of potential ownship call signs comprising one or more flight crew inputted call signs and a plurality of processor-generated call signs based on variations from flight crew inputted call sign information;
adding a plurality of additional processor-generated call signs to the ownship call sign list that are derived from an actual call sign used by ATC in a message directed to the ownship;
categorizing a received message from ATC as being directed to the ownship when a recovered call sign from the message corresponds to a call sign from the ownship call sign list, wherein the recovered call sign corresponds to:
a call sign from the plurality of processor-generated call signs based on variations from flight crew inputted call sign information; or
a call sign from the plurality of additional processor-generated call signs;

alerting flight crew and waiting for flight crew input at runtime when the recovered call sign from the received message does not correspond to a call sign from the plurality of traffic call signs or a call sign from the ownship call sign list; and
signaling an aircraft display device to display a graphical message element that is representative of the received message, includes a textual representation of message content and the recovered call sign from the received message, and that is displayed in a manner that indicates whether the received message has been categorized as being directed to the ownship or a traffic aircraft.
