Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for selectively rendering a standby attitude indicator or an airport map on an aircraft display. The system determines whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight and, based on this determination, either the standby attitude indicator or the airport map are rendered on the display. If the aircraft is determined to be in flight, then the standby attitude indicator is rendered. Conversely, if the aircraft is determined to be on the ground, then either the standby attitude indicator or the airport map is selectively rendered.
