1. A display system configured for displaying critical aeronautical information on an aircraft display that is not certified for displaying critical aeronautical information, the display system comprising:

  • a mounting adapter configured to mount, in an aircraft cockpit, a personal electronic device (PED) having a PED display wherein the PED is not certified to display critical aeronautical information, the mounting adapter comprising a surface with an actuatable covering that is configured to be overlaid on the PED display, wherein the surface with an actuatable covering is optically active in the presence of an excitation source, and an actuation source configured to actuate the covering; and

    an application server comprising one or more processors, the application server configured to execute one or more modules that generate critical aeronautical information, transmit the generated critical aeronautical information to the PED for display on the PED display, determine from an image of the PED display captured by an imaging device whether a problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display, and enable the actuation source to cause the covering to annunciate a message indicating that a problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display.
