Claim One:
1. A system for presenting navigation chart information, comprising: a first source of data comprised of a source of instrument approach procedure (IAP) chart data representative of a plurality of IAP charts, where each IAP chart includes predefined IAP feature information for each IAP feature of a plurality of IAP features appearing in a plurality of sections on one page including a plan view section presenting a lateral pictorial of a flight path and a profile view section presenting a vertical pictorial of the flight path, where the predefined IAP feature information of a first portion of the plurality of IAP features is repeated in more than one section; a second source of data comprised of an aircraft-installed source of navigation data including a flight management system, where the navigation data is representative of real-time IAP feature information of a second portion of the plurality of IAP features; an image generator including at least one processor coupled to a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code and configured to: acquire IAP chart data of one IAP chart while in flight from the first source; acquire navigation data while in flight from the second source; determine whether there is least one mismatch between the real-time IAP feature information and the predefined IAP feature information of the second portion; generate an image data set as a function of the acquired IAP chart data and the acquired navigation data, where the image data set is representative of a plurality of page images comprised of the plurality of IAP features divided among the plurality of page images, where a pilot controls which one page image of the plurality of page images is presented, each real-time IAP feature information is presented in a row with one predefined IAP feature information of the same IAP feature of the second portion, each real-time IAP feature information and each predefined IAP feature of the second portion are presented only once in the plurality of page images, each IAP feature and predefined IAP feature information is presented in a first visual format, each real-time IAP feature information for which there is no mismatch is presented in a second visual format, each real-time IAP feature information for which there is mismatch is presented in a third visual format, and the lateral and vertical pictorials of the flight path are excluded from the plurality of page images; provide the image data set to an aircraft-installed display unit; and the aircraft-installed display unit configured to receive the image data set and present an image represented therein, whereby an amount of the plurality of predefined IAP features presented on any one page image of the plurality of page images is less than an amount of predefined IAP features presented in the one IAP chart, the repetitiveness of the predefined IAP feature information of the first portion is eliminated, and the real-time IAP feature information provides visual redundancy for the predefined IAP feature information of the second portion to enable the pilot's ability to visually recognize mismatched IAP feature information while performing the IAP in preparation of landing.
