Abstract:
1. A computerized method for providing a unified user interface to a plurality of flight management systems encapsulated within a flight management system, the method comprising: receiving, at a processor programmed to provide a unified user interface, a flight management system input dataset from a flight management system user interface device; creating, with the processor programmed to provide a unified user interface, a plurality of flight management system input data portions based on said flight management system input dataset, said plurality of flight management system input data portions to be transmitted to a plurality of destination flight management systems, each flight management system input data portion corresponding to one of said plurality of destination flight management systems; transmitting, from the processor, each of said plurality of flight management system input data portions to said corresponding destination flight management system; receiving, at the processor, a plurality of flight management system response messages from said plurality of destination flight management systems; creating, with the processor, a unified flight management system response message based on said plurality of flight management system response messages; and transmitting, from the processor, said unified flight management system response message to the flight management system user interface device, whereby the unified flight management system response message causes the flight management system user interface device to display a consolidated view of the plurality of flight management system response messages.
