Appeal No. 95-1866
Application 07/878,500
data during operation in the traveling mode (i.e., in flight) and
to the stored data in the storage means during operation in the
simulation (i.e., maintenance review) mode, as required by
claim 1. That the sensor output data and the stored data must be
alternatively applied to the location detecting means is clear
from claim 1's recitation of "means for inhibiting said data
sensed by the sensor means from being applied to said location
detecting means and instead supplying the data stored in said
storage means to said location detecting means, when . . . said
main body is in said simulation mode" (emphasis added). In an
aircraft modified to include Benn's data display system will
include two different location detecting means, driving two
different display means. The first location detecting means is
part of the aircraft's own navigation system (not shown), which
will continue to respond directly to the data from the sensor
means in order to control the cockpit instruments during the
traveling mode (i.e., in flight). The second location detecting
means is part of the circuitry in Benn's flight data display
system, which will be responsive to the data stored in the flight
data recorder (or the copy recorder) to control the cathode ray
tube display during the simulation mode (i.e., during on-board,
post-flight review).
