A flight display system for an aircraft, comprising: a source of real-time aircraft status data; a source of data representing a trajectory of travel; a display system comprising a display device, the display system configured to process the aircraft status data and prescribed trajectory of travel to display on the display device a continuously updated image with a flight path vector, wherein the display device is a Head Up Display, a Near to Eye display, or a Helmet Mounted Display; and a computer system configured to receive and process the aircraft status data and the data representing the prescribed trajectory of travel to: (a) command the display system to overlay a first readout arrangement, in which an airspeed indicator and an altitude indicator are (i) each located in relationship to boundary edges of the display device, and (ii) their locations are substantially static; (b) determine whether a deviation between a heading of the aircraft and the flight path vector is greater than or equal to a threshold; and command the display system to modify the first readout arrangement to a second readout arrangement, in which the airspeed indicator and the altitude indicator (i) are each located equidistant, at a second distance (402, 404), measured from the flight path vector, and (ii) dynamically change location of the airspeed indicator and the altitude indicator responsive to movement of the flight path vector, upon determining that the deviation between the heading of the aircraft and direction of travel represented by the flight path vector is greater than or equal to the threshold. a source of real-time aircraft status data; a source of data representing a trajectory of travel; a display system comprising a display device, the display system configured to process the aircraft status data and prescribed trajectory of travel to display on the display device a continuously updated image with a flight path vector, wherein the display device is a Head Up Display, a Near to Eye display, or a Helmet Mounted Display; and a computer system configured to receive and process the aircraft status data and the data representing the prescribed trajectory of travel to: (a) command the display system to overlay a first readout arrangement, in which an airspeed indicator and an altitude indicator are (i) each located in relationship to boundary edges of the display device, and (ii) their locations are substantially static; (b) determine whether a deviation between a heading of the aircraft and the flight path vector is greater than or equal to a threshold; and command the display system to modify the first readout arrangement to a second readout arrangement, in which the airspeed indicator and the altitude indicator (i) are each located equidistant, at a second distance (402, 404), measured from the flight path vector, and (ii) dynamically change location of the airspeed indicator and the altitude indicator responsive to movement of the flight path vector, upon determining that the deviation between the heading of the aircraft and direction of travel represented by the flight path vector is greater than or equal to the threshold.
