US Patent 9858823 Interactive flight plan

An interactive record keeping system includes a display system, a user input device, an input-output interface and a controller. The controller is configured to receive user input data indicative of a user display preference and a known waypoint location from the user input device, receive aircraft data indicative of a current aircraft operating parameter and receive environmental data indicative of a current environmental condition, both correlating with the known waypoint location. The controller is further configured to calculate an aircraft performance parameter based on the received aircraft data; generate display data based on the calculated aircraft performance parameter, the received environmental data, and the user display preference; provide the display data to the display system; and store the calculated aircraft performance parameter and the environmental data in a memory.
