Abstract
Systems and methods for changing the orientation of information displayed on a display device mounted on a control pedestal at a position between two seats. One method involves changing the orientation of information displayed on a display device located on a control pedestal of an aircraft so that, instead of sub-optimal joint viewing of the displayed information by two pilots, an individual pilot may be able to read the displayed information more easily. The system enables either pilot to select a respective more optimal orientation for the displayed information for individual viewing. Each pilot may separately then quickly switch the display mode back to the 'up is forward' orientation for joint viewing. Returning to the 'up is forward' orientation may also be set to occur as a function of time.
