ABSTRACT:
A kneeboard interface device for use by a pilot of an aircraft in communicating with an avionics suite controller is disclosed. The kneeboard interface device includes a kneeboard controller adapted to control the kneeboard interface device. A wireless I/O device is coupled to the kneeboard controller and adapted to facilitate wireless communication between the kneeboard interface device and the avionics suite controller. A display device is coupled to the kneeboard controller and adapted to display to the pilot avionics suite controller information received from the avionics suite controller. An input device coupled to the kneeboard controller is adapted to receive a pilot response to displayed avionics suite controller information. The pilot response is transmitted to the avionics suite controller by the wireless I/O device to control the avionics suite.
