                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  


               This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims 2                 
          through 6, 8, and 13 through 18 . These claims constitute all of            
          the claims remaining in the application.                                    


               Appellants’ invention pertains to an avionics FMS, an                  
          avionics display, and a method of adjusting a display of FMS                
          information to a pilot. A basic understanding of the invention              
          can be derived from a reading of exemplary claims 2, 14, and 18,
