Flight Deck Display

Abstract

Digital technology in the avionics systems equipping aircraft coming into service has been developed to meet the needs of civil and military operators in the current environment and its influence is particularly marked on the flight deck where the extensive use of cathode ray tube (CRT) and other displays is greatly enhancing many functions. In the civil field, improvements in flight safety and airline operations have been realised and for military aircraft, the cockpit has been optimised for air‐to‐air and air‐to‐ground operations with relevant information projected on the Head Up Display (HUD) while other displays on the instrument panel present additional data in an uncluttered form.
