Cockpit Display System
A Cockpit Display System (CDS) is an integrated set of screens and interfaces used in aircraft to present critical flight information to pilots. It typically includes data on altitude, speed, navigation, and engine performance, allowing for efficient monitoring and decision-making during flight.
The CDS enhances situational awareness by consolidating various data sources into a user-friendly format. This system often features Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Multi-Function Displays (MFD), which provide real-time updates and alerts, improving safety and operational efficiency in modern aviation.
