Apparatus for providing an integrated display of flight instrument parameters on the screen of a single cathode ray tube is presented. The synthetically generated symbology provides the pilot with an integrated display of substantially all aircraft attitude and flight path command and control parameters including attitude and magnetic heading, barometric and radiometric attitude, vertical spread, critical take-off speeds, true airspeed and Mach airspeed, flight path angle, flight director path control commands, and mode annunciation for the flight director and automatic pilot systems.

Display apparatus for aircraft for indicating to the pilot the pitch and roll attitude of the aircraft comprising: (a) means defining a display field of view including a reference index generally in the center of said field and having the general shape of an aircraft and comprising a fuselage portion and wing portions laterally extending therefrom, (b) means for providing a horizon defining line in said field and including means responsive to the pitch and roll attitude of said craft for correspondingly positioning said horizon line relative to said reference index, (c) means for providing a roll attitude reference scale comprising a zero roll attitude pointer and plurality of roll attitude graduation marks extending in predetermined spaced relation vertically above and below said zero roll attitude pointer for representing predetermined angles of roll attitude of said craft by the position of said horizon defining line relative to said roll graduation marks, said scale being located generally adjacent a wing tip of said reference index, and (d) means responsive to a predetermined function of the pitch and roll attitude of said craft for moving said zero roll attitude pointer vertically relative to said index wing tip and simultaneously varying the relative spacing between said roll attitude graduation marks, whereby said horizon defining line will be aligned with said roll graduation marks at corresponding pitch and roll attitudes of said aircraft.
