A system for providing dynamic primary flight display flags includes a display device, a user interface device, and a processor configured to: receive at least one instrumentation parameter, display one or more primary flight display annunciations in the primary flight display area of the display device in response to the received at least one instrumentation parameter, receive one or more signals from the user interface device indicative of a user selection of the displayed one or more primary flight display annunciations, retrieve one or more checklists corresponding to the one or more primary flight display annunciations, and display the one or more checklists corresponding to the one or more primary flight display annunciations in response to the received signal indicative of a user selection of the one or more primary flight display annunciations.

Dynamic primary flight display annunciations

A present novel and non-trivial system, device, and method for generating a route image presentable on a display unit is disclosed, where a route may be presented to draw a viewer's attention to one or more objects located along or below the route. An image generator ('IG') may be configured to receive navigation data; receive object data; construct one or more raised ground track profiles as a function of the first elevations and one or more object clearance distances; identify, if any, one or more penetrated segments of one or more raised ground track profiles; and generate an image data set representative of an image of a divisible route configured to present a plurality of route section highlighters comprised of one or more first route section highlighters corresponding to non-penetrated segment(s) and at least one second or subsequent route section highlighters corresponding to first or subsequent penetrated segment(s), respectively.
