Embodiments provide techniques for illustrating and manipulating flight parameters communicated to an aircraft. More specifically, techniques disclosed herein provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables the adjustment of flight parameters via a translucent or transparent compass rose icon overlaid on a flight map, to intuitively select, transmit, and execute commands at an aircraft. For example, a controller may adjust one or more flight parameters, such as speed, heading, and/or altitude of an aircraft, such as an autonomous aircraft, by dragging an arrow icon around a compass rose icon displayed in connection with the aircraft on the GUI.
