Patent ID: 8400330

Claim:
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 the first image on the display screen corresponding to the first signal, command the display unit to display the second image overlaid over the first image, the second image corresponding to the second signal, and command the display unit to modify an appearance of the second image to enhance an ability to discern the first image.
