An aircraft cockpit display arrangement includes a primary instrument display region 401 for positioning in front of at least one pilot, the primary instrument display region including a wide screen format panel display 110, 120 and duplicated redundant display drive electronics configured to present both primary flight information and navigational display information on the same screen. The display panel may be an active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) screen with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or a 6x8 portrait format. A source selection unit may drive the wide screen format panel display from one of a number of active channels while the other active channels are in stand-by mode. The display unit can be retrofitted into a conventional cockpit by removing the existing panels (P1,P2, fig.1) and associated instruments while retaining the cable end connectors, installing new mounting trays (200, fig.4) for the new display units 110, 120 and connecting the trays to the existing cable end connectors, and plugging the new panels into the mounting trays. Some existing instrumentation may need to be relocated to other positions on the panels. |
