1. An avionics device configured to be coupled to a vehicle, the avionics device comprising:
at least one processor configured to receive a first Controller-Pilot DataLink Communications (CPDLC) message from a ground system;
a memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store a CPDLC interface application, wherein when executed by the at least one processor, the CPDLC interface application causes the at least one processor to:
identify an indicator in the first CPDLC message that indicates a request for a report on at least one navigation parameter of the vehicle, and
generate a report message label in response to identifying the indicator in the first CPDLC message; and
a human-machine interface comprising a display screen coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the human-machine interface is configured to:
display, on a first column of the display screen, the first CPDLC message received from the at least one processor in a threaded format; and
display, on a second column correlated with the first column of the display screen, the report message label generated from the at least one processor in a threaded format.
