ABSTRACT:
A device, method and computer program for generating and displaying graphical displays symbolic of current and available operational modes of instrument systems, such as navigation and autopilot systems. Accordingly, the method of the invention includes receiving a signal representative of a current mode of operation of one or more instrument systems, interpreting the current mode of operation signal to determine the current mode of operation, outputting a control signal informing a pictographic representation symbolic of the current mode of operation, and displaying the pictographic representation of the current mode of operation on a display device, such as a cockpit panel display.
