An aircraft display and control system generally includes a processor, a cursor control and selection device, a multifunction keyboard, an aeronautical information database, a geographic database, and a plurality of display devices. Users, such as an aircraft pilot and copilot, can perform flight plan entry and modification by manipulating graphical and textual information on the display devices using the cursor control device and the multifunction keyboard. In one embodiment, the present invention provides an interface to flight deck information systems that is intuitive and easy to use, and which enables flight crew members to easily and effectively enter and modify data displayed by the aircraft flight deck, substantially centralizes avionics controls within one controller, and decreases flight crew “heads-down” time.

1. An aircraft display and control system comprising:a plurality of flat-panel color display devices disposed on an aircraft flight deck control panel;a cursor control device for receiving pilot-entered cursor movement commands;a multifunction keyboard for receiving pilot-entered data, the multifunction keyboard including a plurality of keys and a knob for dialing in numerical data;a processor coupled to said display devices, said cursor control device, and said multifunction keyboard, the processor generating a viewable image of a movable cursor upon the display devices, said cursor being movable by at least one of said cursor control device and said multifunction keyboard to select any data field from a plurality of data fields within the display, wherein the processor facilitates data entry into each of the plurality of data fields upon selection thereof by the cursor control device using both the plurality of keys and the knob of the multifunction keyboard, wherein said knob is configured to selectively illuminate when the data field selected by the cursor is one in which data in the data field selected by the cursor can be adjusted using the knob.2. The system of claim 1 wherein said multifunction keyboard further includes one or more programmable shortcut keys, and wherein said programmable shortcut keys are programmable to move a cursor to a selected data field within the display such that the processor facilitates data entry into the selected data field using the multifunction keyboard.3. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor facilitates data entry into the data field using the multifunction keyboard by facilitating entry of numerical data using the knob.4. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor is farther configured to access avionics data associated with the aircraft.5. The system of claim 1 wherein said processor is further configured to access at least one data source.6. The system of claim 1 wherein said multifunction keyboard includes a feedback display window.7. The system of claim 6, wherein said feedback display window is configured to provide a visual display of said user input only when said cursor is located in a data field that accepts said user input.8. The system of claim 6, wherein said feedback display window is configured to provide a visual display of the pilot-entered data entered by the multifunction keyboard.9. An aircraft display and control system comprising:a plurality of flat-panel color display devices disposed on an aircraft flight deck control panel;a cursor control device for receiving pilot-entered cursor movement commands;a multifunction keyboard for receiving pilot-entered data, the multifunction keyboard including a plurality of keys, a knob for dialing in numerical data and a programmable shortcut key, the multifunction keyboard further including a feedback window for displaying pilot-entered data entered on the multifunction keyboard;a processor coupled to said display devices, said cursor control device, and said multifunction keyboard, the processor generating a cursor upon the display devices, said cursor being movable by said cursor control device to select any data field from a plurality of data fields within the display device, and wherein said cursor is further movable to select a data field from the plurality of data fields by said programmable shortcut key, wherein the processor facilitates entry of data into each of the plurality of data fields upon selection thereof by the cursor control device using both the plurality of keys and the knob on the multifunction keyboard such that data entry into any of the plurality of data fields can be selectively made using both the plurality of keys and the knob of the multifunction keyboard, and wherein said knob is configured to selectively illuminate when the data field selected by the cursor is one in which data in the data field selected by the cursor can be adjusted using the knob.10. The system of claim 9 wherein said multifunction keyboard includes a feedback display window.11. The system of claim 10, wherein said feedback display window is configured to provide a visual display of said user input only when said cursor is located in a data field that accepts said user input.12. The system of claim 10, wherein said feedback display window is configured to provide a visual display of the pilot-entered data entered by the multifunction keyboard.
