Abstract:
An aircraft includes a display, a support system, and an avionics system. The support system includes at least one operable component, where at least one of the support system and the at least one operable component is configured to operate with an operating value falling within a predefined normal operating range. The avionics system is programmed to: calculate a rate of change of a value of at least one of the support system and the at least one operable component; determine whether the value will exit a predetermined normal operating range within a predetermined time based on the rate of change of the value; and indicate on the display that the value is expected to exit the predetermined normal operating range. The avionics system can leverage this function to declutter displays, and then present additional information to the crew when a value is trending out of range.
