A method of indicating a location of a cursor on a flight deck of an aircraft having multiple flight displays, the method comprising: detecting when the cursor is jumped from a first location on a first flight display of the multiple flight displays to a second location on a second flight display of the multiple flight displays, wherein the cursor is jumped over a third flight display located between the first and second flight displays; displaying a comet tail extending along at least a portion of a line extending between the first and second locations, in response to the detected jump, wherein the comet tail defines a non-cursor visual convergence along the at least a portion of the line extending between the first and second locations and wherein the comet tail is not displayed across the third flight display when the third flight display contains a second cursor of a second pilot; and maintaining the comet tail display until the cursor is moved via a cursor control device.
