Abstract
A display and methodology visually rendering digital data link communications between aircraft and other aircraft or ground stations. The display may be a TCAS type aircraft display residing in the aircraft cockpit visually displaying the digital data link communications. The display may also be used at a ground location, such as at an air traffic control (ATC) center. Visually displaying the digital data link communications allows a pilot to obtain situational awareness by monitoring the digital communications between aircraft, and may be used in combination with or replace monitoring the voice communications being exchanged over the voice channels. In one embodiment, conversation balloons are associated with aircraft symbology on the display. In another embodiment, messages are arranged in the timeline that can be viewed live, or retrieved via the historical representation of previous messages. A scroll bar is provided as a cursor control device to select messages for display. A searching tool is also provided to search messages based upon selected characteristics, such as on content, text, proximity to a current aircraft etc.
