Systems and methods are provided for integrated control, access, and presentation
of flight information within the cockpit. Cockpit instrument systems and methods
are provided which include a first cockpit instrument panel which has a first display
proximately located to a first bezel. The first display is operable to present
navigational data, communication data, and flight information data including airspeed,
attitude, and altitude. The systems and methods further include a second cockpit
instrument panel located adjacent to the first cockpit instrument panel. The second
cockpit instrument panel has a second display proximately located to a second bezel.
The second display is operable to present navigational data, communication data,
and flight information data including detailed engine parameters. When either the
first or the second cockpit instrument panel fails, the remaining functional, first
or second display, is adapted to provide all of the important flight information
data, including airspeed, attitude, altitude, and detailed engine parameters.
