Claims20
A method for managing tasks in an aircraft, the method comprising using program code in a computer system for:
- identifying a current state of the aircraft;
- forming a group of tasks by selecting a task from a task database, based upon the current state of the aircraft and environmental information, such that the task database comprises tasks that are not an electronic checklist for a procedure;
- and
- presenting the group of tasks in the computer system.
A task management system comprising:
- a program code in a computer system configured to:
- identify a current state of an aircraft, and
- based upon the current state of the aircraft and environmental information, select a task from a task database to form a group of tasks, such that the task database comprises tasks that are not an electronic checklist for a procedure.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium;
- first program code configured to identify a current state of an aircraft;
- second program code configured to, based upon the current state of the aircraft and environmental information, select a task from a task database to form a group of tasks, such that the task database comprises tasks for performance during different phases of flight that are not an electronic checklist for a procedure;
- and
- third program code for presenting the group of tasks in a computer system, wherein the first program code, the second program code, and the third program code are stored on the computer readable storage medium.
