Abstract

A method of simultaneously presenting a textual display of an original flight plan and a modified flight plan includes displaying a textlist of waypoints, copying waypoints from the original flight plan into the modified flight plan, comparing each waypoint on the modified flight plan with waypoints on the original flight plan, determining, in a first determining step, for each modified flight plan waypoint, whether the modified flight plan waypoint originated from a waypoint in the original flight plan, and adding, in a first adding step, the modified flight plan waypoint to the textlist, when it is determined in the determining step that the modified flight plan waypoint did not originate from a waypoint in the original flight plan. The method may also include determining, in a second determining step, a position of the originating waypoint in the original flight plan relative to the position of the modified flight plan waypoint in the modified flight plan, when it is determined in the first determining step that the modified flight plan waypoint originated from a waypoint in the original flight plan; and adding, in a second adding step, the modified flight plan waypoint to the textlist, when it is determined in the second determining step that the position of the originating waypoint in the original flight plan corresponds to the position of the modified flight plan waypoint in the modified flight plan.
