Claim 11:
12. A method for displaying a pilot display for an aircraft, the method comprising:
receiving, at a computing device, a flight path that includes a transition point, wherein the transition point is a point in or section of the flight path where a transition will occur;
determining, at the computing device and from a position datum, a current aircraft position relative to the transition point;
commanding, by the computing device, the display to display:
a visual representation of the aircraft position relative to the transition point, wherein the visual representation comprises an icon, wherein a position of the icon is based on the aircraft position relative to the flight path; and
a progression of a transition in style of flight, wherein the transition comprises transitioning between fixed-wing flight and vertical rotor-based flight; and

commanding, by the computing device, the display to alter a color of the icon as a function of a degree of deviation of the aircraft position from the flight path.
