A system and method is provided for displaying information related to an in-trail procedure (ITP) on a ITP display aboard a host aircraft. Current flight status data of the host aircraft and at least a second aircraft is obtained, and a vertical traffic scenario including at least the host aircraft
A system and method is provided for displaying information related to an in-trail procedure (ITP) on a ITP display aboard a host aircraft. Current flight status data of the host aircraft and at least a second aircraft is obtained, and a vertical traffic scenario including at least the host aircraft ant the second aircraft is rendered on the display. A textual representation of a negotiation between ATC and the host aircraft is also rendered on the ITP display.

1. A method for displaying information related to an in-trail procedure (ITP) on a display aboard a host aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining, by a graphics system, current flight status data of the host aircraft via a flight data source, and of at least a second aircraft, via a data communica
1. A method for displaying information related to an in-trail procedure (ITP) on a display aboard a host aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining, by a graphics system, current flight status data of the host aircraft via a flight data source, and of at least a second aircraft, via a data communication module;rendering on the display a vertical traffic scenario including at least the host aircraft and the second aircraft; andrendering on the display, proximate the vertical traffic scenario, a textual representation of an ITP request from the host aircraft;transmitting, via an air/ground datalink subsystem, the ITP request to air traffic control (ATC) for approval of an ITP maneuver;receiving from ATC, via the air/ground datalink subsystem, and displaying, (i) a first transmission status and (ii) an ATC clearance containing the ITP request;rendering on the display the ATC clearance; anddisplaying a graphical representation of options for arming a datalink report associated with the ATC clearance when the ITP request matches the ATC clearance. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: rendering on the display a graphical indication of the results of a comparison of the ITP request and the ATC clearance; andrendering on the display a graphical representation of the transmission status. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising rendering a graphical representation of the armed status of the datalink report on the display. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising rendering and textually displaying arming and disarming buttons on the display. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising: informing the pilot that there is a match between the ITP request sent and the ATC clearance;rendering symbology graphically representative of accept, reject and standby buttons on the display;transmitting a chosen response to ATC; andrendering on the display a graphical representation of the transmission status of the chosen response. 6. The method of claim 3 further comprising rendering and displaying a cue on the ITP display when the ATC clearance has been accepted to prompt the pilot to perform an ITP maneuver. 7. The method of claim 3 further comprising transmitting a message via datalink to ATC when altitude criteria is satisfied if such report has been armed by the pilot. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising: informing the pilot that there is a mismatch between the ITP request sent and the ATC clearance received; andidentifying the differences on the display. 9. The method of claim 8 further comprising rendering symbology graphically representative of reject and standby buttons on the display. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising: selecting one of the reject and standby buttons;transmitting the selection to ATC; andrendering on the display a graphical representation of the transmission status of the chosen response. 11. A flight deck display system for a host aircraft, the display system for generating symbology associated with an in-trail procedure (ITP) request including communications received from air traffic control (ATC), the display system comprising: a data communications module for receiving flight status data from neighboring aircraft;an ITP display element;an air/ground datalink;a user interface coupled to the ITP display;a graphics system; anda processor coupled to the data communications module, the ITP display element, the graphics system, the user interface, and the air/ground datalink, the processor configured to(1) render on the ITP display element a vertical traffic scenario,(2) render on the ITP display element a graphical and textual representation of the ITP request from the host aircraft;(3) transmit, via an air/ground datalink subsystem (216), the ITP request to ATC for approval of an ITP maneuver,(4) receive from ATC, via the air/ground datalink subsystem (216), and display (i) a first transmission status and (ii) an ATC clearance containing the ITP request,(5) render on the ITP display element the ATC clearance,(6) compare the ITP request with the ATC clearance to determine if they match, and(7) display a graphical representation of options for arming a datalink report associated with the ATC clearance when the ITP request matches the ATC clearance. 12. The system of claim 11 wherein the ITP display includes a vertical situation traffic display region and an adjacent region for graphically and textually displaying communications between the host aircraft and ATC. 13. The system of claim 12 wherein the processor is further configured to highlight any mismatches between the ITP request and the ATC clearance on the ITP display. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein the adjacent region includes a first region primarily dedicated to text generated on the aircraft and a second region primarily dedicated to text generated by ATC.
