1. A method for correlating a first item to a second item comprising:
detecting a first identifier associated with the first item, wherein the first identifier comprises a chart name;
detecting a second identifier associated with the second item, wherein the second identifier comprises a procedure name;
simplifying the first identifier, wherein simplifying the first identifier comprises removing nonessential letters;
determining one or more chart name types from chart name, wherein the one or more chart name types comprises a moniker type or a guidance type;
generating a codex string based on the first identifier;
generating a bit field comprising a codex value based on the first identifier, wherein the codex value comprises at least one bit of the bit field designating the one or more chart types;
determining if the procedure name type is a guidance type or a moniker type;
determining if the chart name type of the first identifier is equivalent to the procedure name type of the second identifier;
in response to a determination that the chart name type of the first identifier is equivalent to the second identifier, comparing bits in the codex value and values in the codex string of the first identifier to the second identifier and
generating via a flight management system (FMS) computing device a match value between the first identifier and the second identifier based upon a comparison between the bits in the codex value and the values in the codex string of the first identifier with the second identifier; and
reporting a list of matches between one or more first items and one or more second items onto an FMS display, wherein the list reports a correlation between the one or more first items and the one or more second items based on the match value.
