Systems and methods for generating avionic displays including forecast overpressure event symbology

An avionic display system, comprising:

• a display device on which an avionic display is generated;
• a controller architecture operably coupled to the display device;
• and
• storage media containing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the controller architecture, cause the avionic display system to perform the operations of:
• determining when an overpressure event is forecast to occur due to the generation of a sonic boom having a magnitude exceeding a boom tolerance threshold;
• prior to determining when the overpressure event is forecast to occur, assigning a value to the boom tolerance threshold based, at least in part, on a time-of-day at which the sonic boom is forecast to occur;
• and
• when determining that an overpressure event is forecast to occur, generating symbology on the avionic display indicative of the forecast overpressure event.

An avionic display system, comprising:

• a display device on which a vertical navigation display is generated;
• a controller architecture operably coupled to the display device;
• and
• storage media containing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the controller architecture, cause the avionic display system to perform the operations of:
• repeatedly establishing flight parameter margins enabling an aircraft to travel at supersonic speeds, while avoiding the generation of a sonic boom having a magnitude exceeding a boom tolerance threshold;
• and
• generating graphics on the vertical navigation display visually expressing the established flight parameter margins, the graphics comprising a boom floor graphic visually identifying minimum altitudes at or above which the aircraft can travel at supersonic speeds without generating a sonic boom having a magnitude exceeding the boom tolerance threshold.
