A flight display system for an aircraft, comprising: a source of real-time aircraft status data; a source of prescribed flight plan data; a display system configured to process the aircraft status data to display a continuously updated image (28, 200, 300) depicting the aircraft status; a computer system configured to receive and process the aircraft status data and the flight plan data to: (a) command the display system to overlay on the image, (i) an analog indicator of the airspeed, (ii) an analog indicator of altitude, (iii) a digital airspeed indicator, and (iv) a digital altitude indicator; characterized in that the computer system is further configured to: (b) determine whether one or more steady flight conditions are occurring by: monitoring an airspeed of the aircraft; and determining a first steady flight condition when the airspeed does not deviate by more than a configurable delta airspeed over a respective intended airspeed for a duration of time equal to a first time-threshold; determining a second steady flight condition when a rate of change of the speed of the aircraft is constant; upon determining that one or more steady flight conditions are occurring: command the display system to remove the analog indicator of the airspeed and the analog indicator of altitude from the image; repeat the determining whether one or more steady flight conditions are occurring according to step (b);; and upon determining that no steady flight conditions are occurring, command the display system to return the overlay of the analog indicator of the airspeed and the analog indicator of altitude; and render graphic elements and a rate of change of speed indicator. a source of real-time aircraft status data; a source of prescribed flight plan data; a display system configured to process the aircraft status data to display a continuously updated image (28, 200, 300) depicting the aircraft status; a computer system configured to receive and process the aircraft status data and the flight plan data to: (a) command the display system to overlay on the image, (i) an analog indicator of the airspeed, (ii) an analog indicator of altitude, (iii) a digital airspeed indicator, and (iv) a digital altitude indicator; characterized in that the computer system is further configured to: (b) determine whether one or more steady flight conditions are occurring by: monitoring an airspeed of the aircraft; and determining a first steady flight condition when the airspeed does not deviate by more than a configurable delta airspeed over a respective intended airspeed for a duration of time equal to a first time-threshold; determining a second steady flight condition when a rate of change of the speed of the aircraft is constant; upon determining that one or more steady flight conditions are occurring: command the display system to remove the analog indicator of the airspeed and the analog indicator of altitude from the image; repeat the determining whether one or more steady flight conditions are occurring according to step (b);; and upon determining that no steady flight conditions are occurring, command the display system to return the overlay of the analog indicator of the airspeed and the analog indicator of altitude; and render graphic elements and a rate of change of speed indicator.
