STANDBY FLIGHT DISPLAY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A standby flight display system for use on an aircraft, the aircraft having a primary flight display system configured to display a first image on a primary flight display screen, the standby flight display system comprising:
- a subsystem configured to determine a dynamic state of the aircraft, the subsystem being independent of the primary flight display system;
an image generator independent of the primary flight display system; and
a processing unit independent of the primary flight display system, the processing unit communicatively coupled with the subsystem and with the image generator, the processing unit configured to receive information from the subsystem relating to the dynamic state of the aircraft and to control the image generator to generate a second image on the primary flight display screen relating to the dynamic state of the aircraft, the second image overlaying the first image.

Abstract
A standby flight display system for use on an aircraft is disclosed herein. The aircraft has a primary flight display system that is configured to display a first image on a primary flight display screen. The standby flight display system includes a subsystem configured to determine a dynamic state of the aircraft. The standby flight display system further includes an image generator. The standby flight display system still further includes a processing unit. The subsystem, the image generator, and the processing unit are each independent of the primary flight display system. The processing unit is communicatively coupled with the subsystem and with the image generator and is configured to receive information from the subsystem relating to the dynamic state of the aircraft and to control the image generator to generate a second image overlaying the first image on the primary flight display screen.
