The aircraft (10) has a visual display (38) of video signals received from the associated store (20, 16). The electrical interface (20) includes circuitry for generating a menu (48) of the commands available to an operator of the aircraft (10) and for generating a cursor (44) associated with the menu (48). The electrical interface (20) overlays the menu (48) and cursor (44) on the display (38) to provide a user friendly electrical interface (20).
