Display of Flight Interval Management DataA system for providing flight interval management (FIM) instructions to a pilot of an aircraft includes a module coupled to a display device and configured to communicate with a FIM avionics device. The module generates a first output when input data from the FIM avionics device indicates that the aircraft is within 30 nautical miles of another aircraft, and a second input when a lack of valid input data indicates that the module has lost connectivity to the FIM avionics device. The first input is to the display device to present at least an indication of a paired mode of the module with the FIM avionics device, and a commanded speed reported by the FIM avionics device. The second output is to remove any information presented by the display device and present a blank screen, and then present a status message indicating the lost connectivity to the FIM avionics device.
