1. A safety system for visual flight references system for mounting to a dash of an airplane having a pair of controls, the safety system comprising:
- a central processing unit electrically connected to a plurality of instruments within an airplane and constantly reading said instruments;
a keyboard electrically connected to said central processing unit allowing a pilot to enter information into said central processing unit;
a display screen pivotally attached to said keyboard and electrically connected to said central processing unit to display to said pilot a surrounding geography without undesirable weather conditions present to interfere with said pilot'"'"'s vision; and
wherein said keyboard is positionable between horizontal planes extending through pivot axes of steering yokes of said airplane.

4. A safety system for visual flight references system comprising:
-
an airplane having a cockpit having a dash and control panel, said control panel having two sets of controls including a pair of steering yokes; a central processing unit electrically connected to a plurality of instruments of an airplane and constantly reading said instruments; a keyboard electrically connected to said central processing unit allowing a pilot to enter information into said central processing unit; a display screen pivotally attached to said keyboard and electrically connected to said central processing unit to display to said pilot a surrounding geography without undesirable weather conditions present to interfere with said pilot'"'"'s vision; a hold-down bracket for adjustably securing said keyboard to said dash of said airplane, wherein said keyboard is positionable between horizontal planes extending through pivot axes of said yokes; a T-rail secured to said dash traversely to a longitudinal axis of said airplane; a pair of C-brackets secured to opposite sides of said keyboard and slidably engaging said T-rail such that said keyboard is positionable along said T-rail; wherein a length of said T-rail is defined between opposite ends thereof, said length of said T-rail being less than a distance between horizontal planes extending through pivot axes of said steering yokes; and a pair of winged end screws threadably projecting through said pair of C-brackets for tightening said C-bracket to said T-rail for preventing movement of said keyboard.
