An aspect of the present invention provides a method for providing information to an air traffic controller. The method comprises the steps of: displaying, on a video display, a symbol representative of a position of an aircraft and a first stage of a multi-stage label comprising information relating to the aircraft (210); and displaying, on the video display, a second stage of the multi-stage label comprising additional information relating to the aircraft when a user-controlled cursor is brought into a vicinity of the multi-stage label (220). The first stage of the multi-stage label occupies a smaller footprint on the video display than the second stage. Additional stages of the multi stage label may also be displayed in response to user action (e.g. rotation of a scroll wheel of a computer mouse or other pointing device). Each stage of the multi-stage label may be locked in place, or pinned, through selection of part of the label, via a mouse click or similar action.

1. A method for providing information to an air traffic controller, said method comprising the steps of: displaying, on a video display, a symbol representative of a position of an aircraft and a first stage of a multi-stage label comprising information relating to said aircraft; anddisplaying, on said video display, a second stage of said multi-stage label comprising additional information relating to said aircraft when a user-controlled cursor is brought into a vicinity of said multi-stage label;wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label occupies a smaller footprint on said video display than said second stage. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: identification of said aircraft; and flight level of said aircraft. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said additional information relating to said aircraft comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: destination; aircraft type; and runway assigned. 4. The method of claim 1, comprising the further step of displaying, on said video display, a further stage of said multi-stage label in response to user operation of an input device. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said user operation of said input device comprises rotation in a first direction of a scroll wheel of a computer pointing device. 6. The method of claim 5, comprising the further step of terminating display of said further stage of said multi-stage label in response to rotation of said scroll wheel in a reverse direction to said first direction. 7. The method of claim 1, comprising the further step of maintaining a currently displayed stage of said multi-stage label by selecting said currently displayed stage. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said aircraft symbol and said related multi-stage label are visually coupled to each other on said visual display. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label is adapted to display a minimal amount of critical data to minimise the footprint of said first stage on said video display. 10. A computer system for providing information to an air traffic controller, said computer system comprising: a video display for displaying information;at least one input device for inputting information; anda computer module comprising memory for storing data and instructions and at least one processor coupled to said memory, said video display and said at least one input device;wherein said computer system is programmed to:display, on said video display, a symbol representative of a position of an aircraft and a first stage of a multi-stage label comprising information relating to said aircraft; anddisplay, on said video display, a second stage of said multi-stage label comprising additional information relating to said aircraft when a user-controlled cursor is brought into a vicinity of said multi-stage label using said at least one input device;wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label occupies a smaller footprint on said video display than said second stage. 11. The computer system of claim 10, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: identification of said aircraft; and flight level of said aircraft. 12. The computer system of claim 10, wherein said additional information relating to said aircraft comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: destination; aircraft type; and runway assigned. 13. The computer system of claim 10, further programmed to display on said video display, a further stage of said multi-stage label in response to rotation of a scroll wheel of said input device in a first direction. 14. The computer system of claim 13, further programmed to terminate display of said further stage of said multi-stage label in response to rotation of said scroll wheel of said input device in a reverse direction to said first direction. 15. The computer system of claim 10, further programmed to maintain a currently displayed stage of said multi-stage label in response to selection of said currently displayed stage using said at least one input device. 16. The computer system of claim 10, wherein said aircraft symbol and said related multi-stage label are visually coupled to each other on said visual display. 17. The computer system of claim 10, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label is adapted to display a minimal amount of critical data to minimise the footprint of said first stage on said video display. 18. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having a computer software program recorded thereon for providing information to an air traffic controller, said computer program product comprising: computer program code for displaying, on a video display, a symbol representative of a position of an aircraft and a first stage of a multi-stage label comprising information relating to said aircraft; andcomputer program code for displaying, on said video display, a second stage of said multi-stage label comprising additional information relating to said aircraft when a user-controlled cursor is brought into a vicinity of said multi-stage label;wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label occupies a smaller footprint on said video display than said second stage. 19. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: identification of said aircraft; and flight level of said aircraft. 20. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein said additional information relating to said aircraft comprises one or more items from the list of items consisting of: destination; aircraft type; and runway assigned. 21. The computer program product of claim 20, further comprising computer program code for terminating display of said further stage of said multi-stage label in response to rotation of said scroll wheel of said input device in a reverse direction to said first direction. 22. The computer program product of claim 18, further comprising computer program code for displaying, on said video display, a further stage of said multi-stage label in response to rotation of a scroll wheel of said input device in a first direction. 23. The computer program product of claim 18, further comprising computer program code for maintaining a currently displayed stage of said multi-stage label by selecting said currently displayed stage. 24. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein said aircraft symbol and said related multi-stage label are visually coupled to each other on said visual display. 25. The computer program product of claim 18, wherein said first stage of said multi-stage label is adapted to display a minimal amount of critical data to minimise the footprint of said first stage on said video display.
