Abstract

According to one embodiment, a gauge display prioritization system comprises a priority engine and an output engine. The priority engine is operable to receive a measurement from a first sensor associated with a first aircraft component and a measurement from a second sensor associated with a second aircraft component, select a prioritization criterion based on the received measurements, and select one priority measurement from the received measurements based on the prioritization criterion. The output engine is operable to instruct a gauge disposed within a cockpit to display information representative of the one priority measurement to a pilot.
