A flight deck communication and display system (100) for displaying a modified flight plan transmitted to an aircraft (224) is described including a processor (104) adapted to receive (i) data representative of a current aircraft flight plan (218, 228) and (ii) a textual message representative of th
A flight deck communication and display system (100) for displaying a modified flight plan transmitted to an aircraft (224) is described including a processor (104) adapted to receive (i) data representative of a current aircraft flight plan (218, 228) and (ii) a textual message representative of the modified flight plan (218′, 228′) and operable, in response thereto, to supply a flight plan display command, and a modified flight plan display command, and comparing the textual clearance message with factors affecting aircraft safety to supply an alert message display command (204). A display (108) coupled to receive the flight plan display command, the modified flight plan display command, the alert message display command is operable, in response thereto, to substantially simultaneously display (308) (i) an image representative of the current aircraft flight plan, (ii) the textual clearance message, (iii) the modified flight plan, and (iv) an alert message indicating whether there are any safety concerns related to the textual air traffic modified flight plan.

1. A flight deck communication and display system for displaying a modified flight plan, the system comprising: a processor on board the aircraft configured to receive (i) data representative of a current aircraft flight plan and (ii) a textual air traffic clearance message representative of the modified flight plan and configured, in response thereto, to supply a flight plan display command, and a modified flight plan display command, and comparing the textual air traffic clearance message with first factors affecting aircraft safety and second factors affecting efficiency to supply an alert message display command, wherein the first factors are selected from at least one of the group consisting of terrain, traffic, and restricted airspace, and the second factors are selected from at least one of the group consisting of noise and emissions; anda display comprising a single screen coupled to the processor to receive the flight plan display command, the modified flight plan display command, the alert message display command and configured, in response thereto, to simultaneously display on the single screen (i) an image representative of the current aircraft flight plan, (ii) the textual air traffic clearance message, (iii) the modified flight plan, and (iv) an alert message indicating whether there are any safety or efficiency concerns related to the first factors or second factors. 2. The flight deck communication and display system of claim 1 wherein the second factors are selected from at least one of the group consisting of flight time, required time of arrival goals, and fuel burn. 3. The flight deck communication and display system of claim 1, further comprising: a user interface configured to receive user input and configured, in response thereto, to supply one or more flight plan modification command signals,wherein the processor is further coupled to the user interface to receive the flight plan modification command signals and is further configured, in response thereto, to generate one or more textual clearance messages, and to supply one or more modified flight plan display commands and one or more clearance message display commands, andwherein the display is further coupled to the processor to receive the flight plan modification display commands and the clearance message display commands and is further configured, in response thereto, to substantially simultaneously display (i) one or more images representative of a modified aircraft flight plan and (ii) the textual clearance messages. 4. The flight deck communication and display system of claim 1, wherein the data representative of aircraft flight plan includes navigation data, and wherein the system further comprises: one or more navigation databases in operable communication with the processor, each navigation database having navigation data stored therein,wherein the processor is further configured to selectively retrieve navigation data from each navigation database. 5. The flight deck communication and display system of claim 1, wherein: the processor is further configured to receive avionics data and is further configured, in response thereto, to supply one or more avionics data display commands; andthe display is further coupled to the processor to receive the avionics data display commands and is further configured, in response thereto, to display one or more images representative of the avionics data substantially simultaneously with the current aircraft flight plan. 6. The flight deck communication and display system of claim 5 wherein the avionics data are selected from one or more of the group consisting of current position, aircraft performance constraints, altitude, heading, vertical speed, and airspeed. 7. A method of displaying a modified flight plan on a flight deck display consisting of a single screen, the method comprising: processing data representative of a current aircraft flight plan;processing a textual air traffic clearance message representative of the modified flight plan;comparing the textual air traffic clearance message with first factors affecting aircraft safety and second factors affecting aircraft efficiency, wherein the first factors are selected from at least one of the group consisting of terrain, traffic, and restricted airspace, and the second factors are selected from at least one of the group consisting of noise and emissions;substantially simultaneously displaying, on the flight deck display, an image representative of the current aircraft flight plan, an image of the modified flight plan, the air traffic clearance message and an alert indicating whether the modified flight plan impacts the at least one of aircraft safety and aircraft efficiency, the presentation of the alert being selected from the group consisting of an aural message, information displayed on the flight deck display, and a combination thereof. 8. The method of claim 7 further comprising: transmitting a signal to one or more air traffic control centers indicating whether the modified flight plan is accepted. 9. The method of claim 7 further comprising: supplying one or more modifications to the current flight plan by a pilot; andtransmitting each of the flight plan modifications to one or more air traffic control centers as textual signals. 10. The method of claim 7 wherein the comparing step comprises comparing the textual message with the second factors selected from one or more of the group consisting of current position, aircraft performance constraints, altitude, heading, vertical speed, and airspeed. 11. The method of claim 7 wherein the comparing step comprises comparing the textual message with the second factors selected from one or more of the group consisting of flight time, required time of arrival goals, and fuel burn. 12. A flight deck communication and display system for displaying a modified flight plan, the system comprising: a processor on board the aircraft configured to receive a textual air traffic clearance message representative of the modified flight plan; the processor comparing the modified flight plan with factors affecting at least one of aircraft safety and efficiency, wherein the factors affecting safety are selected from one of the group consisting of terrain, traffic, and restricted airspace, and the factors affecting efficiency are selected from at least one of the group consisting of noise and emissions; anda single display coupled to the processor and configured to simultaneously display (i) a current flight plan, (ii) the modified flight plan, (iii) a modified flight plan textual description, and (iv) a textual alert message indicating whether there are any safety or efficiency concerns determined by the comparison of the modified flight plan with factors affecting at least one of aircraft safety and efficiency.
