A system for displaying a first image and a second image to a pilot of an aircraft during flight, the system comprising: a sensor subsystem configured to detect a light transmission originating from an exterior of the aircraft and to generate a first signal indicative of the light transmission; a dynamic condition sensor configured to detect a dynamic condition of the aircraft and to generate a second signal indicative of the dynamic condition of the aircraft; a display unit having a display screen; and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor subsystem and to the dynamic condition sensor and operatively coupled to the display unit, the processor configured to: obtain the first signal and the second signal, command the display unit to display a first image on the display screen, the first image corresponding to the first signal, command the display unit to display a second image overlaid over the first image, the second image corresponding to the second signal and comprising symbology, and wherein the second image extends beyond the first image whereby portions of the symbology are located outside of the first image; wherein the processor is configured to command the display unit to modify an appearance of the symbology in response to determining that the approach phase of a flight has begun, to enhance an ability to discern the first image; wherein to modify an appearance of the symbology comprises to blank out portions of the symbology, to render portions of the symbology transparent, and/or to diminish the brightness of portions (46, 48) of the symbology; and wherein only those portions of the symbology that overlie the first image are modified and the portions of the symbology that are located outside of the first image are unaffected. a sensor subsystem configured to detect a light transmission originating from an exterior of the aircraft and to generate a first signal indicative of the light transmission; a dynamic condition sensor configured to detect a dynamic condition of the aircraft and to generate a second signal indicative of the dynamic condition of the aircraft; a display unit having a display screen; and a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor subsystem and to the dynamic condition sensor and operatively coupled to the display unit, the processor configured to: obtain the first signal and the second signal, command the display unit to display a first image on the display screen, the first image corresponding to the first signal, command the display unit to display a second image overlaid over the first image, the second image corresponding to the second signal and comprising symbology, and wherein the second image extends beyond the first image whereby portions of the symbology are located outside of the first image; wherein the processor is configured to command the display unit to modify an appearance of the symbology in response to determining that the approach phase of a flight has begun, to enhance an ability to discern the first image; wherein to modify an appearance of the symbology comprises to blank out portions of the symbology, to render portions of the symbology transparent, and/or to diminish the brightness of portions (46, 48) of the symbology; and wherein only those portions of the symbology that overlie the first image are modified and the portions of the symbology that are located outside of the first image are unaffected. obtain the first signal and the second signal, command the display unit to display a first image on the display screen, the first image corresponding to the first signal, command the display unit to display a second image overlaid over the first image, the second image corresponding to the second signal and comprising symbology, and wherein the second image extends beyond the first image whereby portions of the symbology are located outside of the first image; wherein the processor is configured to command the display unit to modify an appearance of the symbology in response to determining that the approach phase of a flight has begun, to enhance an ability to discern the first image; wherein to modify an appearance of the symbology comprises to blank out portions of the symbology, to render portions of the symbology transparent, and/or to diminish the brightness of portions (46, 48) of the symbology; and wherein only those portions of the symbology that overlie the first image are modified and the portions of the symbology that are located outside of the first image are unaffected.
