Claim 11:
12. A system, comprising:
at least one user interface configured to receive user inputs of at least one user; and
at least one processor, one or more of the at least one processor installed in a vehicle, the at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one user interface, the at least one processor configured to:
receive a sequence of user inputs from the at least one user interface as instructions to pre-arm multiple actions to be completed according to a conditional timeline, wherein some or all of the multiple actions are to be completed non-simultaneously from at least one other of the multiple actions, wherein some or all of the multiple actions have at least one trigger event that conditionally occurs along the conditional timeline;
pre-arm each of the multiple actions to be completed according to the conditional timeline and any associated trigger events;
for any action of the multiple actions having at least one associated trigger event, monitor the at least one associated trigger event, wherein when all of the at least one trigger event are present for a given action, the at least one trigger event triggers an associated command causing the given action to be completed;
output commands, wherein each of the commands is a command to cause one of the multiple actions to be completed at a time consistent with the conditional timeline and any associated trigger events; and
output image data associated with a graphical depiction including the conditional timeline and multiple action items for presentation to the at least one user, each action item indicating a particular action of the multiple actions and a status of the particular action;
receive at least one additional user input as an instruction to add at least one additional action to the multiple actions;
wherein the at least one additional action is multiple additional actions, wherein the multiple additional actions are associated with a template of multiple additional action items, wherein the template is selected by one or more of the at least one user, wherein the vehicle is an aircraft, wherein the multiple action items are graphically arranged along the conditional timeline according to a relative order of when the multiple actions associated with the multiple action items would at least one of begin or be completed.
