Abstract
A mobile flight application obtains, via a network, a content pack having aeronautical files, and determines a set of waypoints in the content pack from the aeronautical files in the content pack. In a geolocation mapping structure, a waypoint is related with a matching subset of the aeronautical files in the content pack. Integrated into the corresponding sections of a user interface of the mobile flight application.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a mobile flight application via a network, a content pack comprising a plurality of aeronautical files defined in a directory structure, the directory structure comprising:
- a custom flight procedures folder comprising a first subset of the plurality of aeronautical files, the first subset comprising custom flight procedures, and
- a map layer folder comprising a second subset of the plurality of aeronautical files, the second subset comprising visualization layers for an aeronautical map;
- determining, by the mobile flight application, a set of waypoints in the content pack from the plurality of aeronautical files in the content pack;
- relating, in a geolocation mapping structure, a waypoint with a matching subset of the aeronautical files in the content pack;
- and
- presenting, integrated into the corresponding sections of a user interface of the mobile flight application, the content pack.

A system comprising:
- storage configured to store a content pack;
- and
- a computer processor for executing a mobile flight application to perform operations comprising:
- storing, in storage, the content pack comprising a plurality of aeronautical files defined in a directory structure, the content pack obtained from a content pack computing device via a network, and the directory structure comprising:
- a custom flight procedures folder comprising a first subset of the plurality of aeronautical files, the first subset comprising custom flight procedures, and
- a map layer folder comprising a second subset of the plurality of aeronautical files, the second subset comprising visualization layers for an aeronautical map;
- determining a set of waypoints in the content pack from the plurality of aeronautical files in the content pack;
- relating, in a geolocation mapping structure, a waypoint with a matching subset of the aeronautical files in the content pack;
- and
- presenting, integrated into the corresponding sections of a user interface of the mobile flight application.
