Methods, systems, and apparatus for tab-pane-based flight plan management interface are disclosed. The tab-pane-based flight management interface system (FMIS) is optimally Layered and Multi-Indexed (LMI) such that the management of flight management (FM) functions and associated parameters that affect the airplane's flight are easily and efficiently operable by pilots. The LMI-FMIS provides a flexible tab-pane-based architecture that allows pilots to start a flight plan modification, proceed to engage in other tasks not related to the modification, and return to the pending modification to continue the modification process. The LMI-FMIS also provides task-oriented menu structures that provide pilots tailored options or menus applicable to the task at hand thus efficiently guiding pilots to complete a task while maintaining easy access to information that was displayed prior to the commencement of the task.

1. A task-oriented method of organizing a flight management interface system, the method activating a plurality of tabs associated with flight management tasks, comprising: displaying a first tab-pane comprising operational information associated with a plurality of flight management tasks;responsive to a first event, wherein the first event is one of a pilot input or a system input, activating a second tab-pane comprising of a plurality of modification options for at least one flight management task;activating a third tab-pane comprising information related to the flight management task presented in the first tab-pane wherein the information comprises at least one of descriptive data, predictive data, and planning data;responsive to a second event, wherein the second event is one of a second pilot input or a second system input to a plurality of modification fields of at least one of the modification options, storing a pending modification for the flight management task for at least one of a review step or an execution step; andresponsive to a third event, wherein the third event is a pilot input, executing the pending modification. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the operational information of the first tab-pane is presented in at least one of a tabular format and a graphical format. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein a modification made from the second tab-pane updates at least one flight management task in the first tab-pane. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein storing a pending modification further includes means for cancelling at least one pending modification. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein storing a pending modification further includes means for activating at least one reminder associated with the pending modification. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein storing a pending modification further includes means for reporting information associated with the pending modification. 7. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing a variable-access means for defining views of the first tab-pane. 8. A system for a flight management interface comprising: a computer having instructions having contents that perform a method that includes: configuring a plurality of flight management functions in a first tab-pane;configuring a plurality of modification options for the flight management functions in a second tab-pane;configuring a third tab-pane comprising information related to the flight management functions presented in the first tab-pane wherein the information comprises at least one of descriptive data, predictive data, and planning data; anda display operatively coupled to the computer to display the first tab-pane and the second-tab pane; anda control input device operatively coupled to the display to provide pilot input for the flight management functions and the modification options. 9. The system of claim 8 wherein the second tab-pane activates upon selection of a flight management function of the first tab-pane. 10. The system of claim 8 wherein a modification made from the second tab-pane updates at least one flight management function in the first tab-pane. 11. The system of claim 8 wherein the second tab-pane deactivates upon at least one of an execution of a modification or a cancellation of a modification. 12. The system of claim 8 wherein the plurality of flight management functions of the first tab-pane is presented in at least one of a tabular format or a graphical format. 13. The system of claim 8 wherein the display further comprises a variable-access means for defining views of the first tab-pane. 14. The system of claim 8 operatively connected to aircraft systems including a flight management system, an aircraft control system, a navigation system, and a communication system. 15. A computer-implemented method of managing modification states of aircraft flight management functions, the method comprising: displaying a first tab-pane comprising operational information associated with a plurality of flight management functions;responsive to a pilot input to modify at least one flight management function, activating a second tab-pane of a plurality of modification options for making at least one pending modification for the at least one flight management function;activating a third tab-pane comprising information related to the flight management task presented in the first tab-pane wherein the information comprises at least one of descriptive data, predictive data, and planning data;storing the at least one pending modification in memory;updating the first tab-pane with the at least one pending modification for at least one of a review step or an execution step; andresponsive to a third event, wherein the third event is a pilot input, executing the at least one pending modification to cause a change in at least one of a flight path or a performance of an aircraft. 16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 further comprising, cancelling the at least one pending modification in the review step. 17. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 further comprising, cancelling the at least one executed modification. 18. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 wherein the operational information of the first tab-pane is presented in at least one of a tabular format and a graphical format.
