Claim Text:
1. A system for displaying a procedure to an aircrew member of an aircraft, the system comprising: a moving map display subsystem configured to display a map that moves in a manner that corresponds with a movement of the aircraft; a position detecting subsystem that is configured to detect a current location of the aircraft with respect to a ground surface and to generate a first signal indicative of the current location of the aircraft; a flight management subsystem configured to determine a flight path that will be taken by the aircraft and to generate a second signal indicative of the flight path of the aircraft; an electronic storage unit configured to store a plurality of navigation procedures associated with a corresponding plurality of geographic locations, each navigation procedure representative of a navigation procedure contained on a paper-based chart; and a processor operatively coupled with the moving map display subsystem, the position detecting subsystem, the flight management subsystem, and the electronic storage unit, wherein the processor is configured to receive the first signal from the position detecting subsystem and to receive the second signal from the flight management subsystem, to retrieve a navigation procedure from the electronic storage unit, the navigation procedure corresponding with the current location of the aircraft and the flight path of the aircraft, and the processor is further configured to command the moving map display subsystem to display, on the map, a graphic depiction of an actual flight path that the aircraft will take when executing the retrieved navigation procedure.
