Abstract
The present invention provides a method, computer program product and system for organizing and displaying operational mode information on an instrument panel of a flight deck. A display controller receives input from various sources, including, but not limited to, the pilot/co-pilot, instruments and controls on the aircraft and externally from control towers. The display controller analyzes this data to determine an appropriate operational mode of the aircraft. Once this determination is made, the display controller configures spatial representation and placement of output to the display device, in accordance with the determined operational mode. The display device can be reconfigured to display information for all instruments at one central location.
