1. A Human Machine Interface comprising: a cockpit display system includes at least one of a Multi Function Display (MFD) and a Primary Flight Display (PFD); anda flight control system configured to communicate display data directly to said cockpit display system, said flight control system includes a multiple of flight control computers (FCCs) interconnected by a Cross Channel Data Link (CCDL) and at least one of said multiple of flight control computers (FCCs) include a video interface to generate said display data, wherein said video interface is a separate processing card, said flight control system is separate from said cockpit display system and is configured to control avionics, wherein said flight control system includes a triple modular redundant flight control computer (FCC) architecture in which each of said is identical in hardware and software and interconnected by said Cross Channel Data Link (CCDL). 2. The Human Machine Interface as recited in claim 1, wherein said video interface is a software partition on a processor of at least one of said multiple of flight control computers (FCCs). 3. The Human Machine Interface as recited in claim 1, wherein said flight control system is operable to communicate display data directly to said cockpit display system without cockpit display computers. 4. The Human Machine Interface as recited in claim 3, wherein, said FCCs are configured to communicate with sensor systems and cockpit controls. 5. A method of presenting display data on a cockpit display system comprising: communicating display data from a flight control system directly to a cockpit display system, wherein said flight control system includes multiple flight control computers (FCCs) and said cockpit display system includes at least one of a Multi Function Display (MFD) and a Primary Flight Display (PFD), wherein said flight control system is separate from said cockpit display system and is configured to control avionics; anddetermining output control values by a majority vote of multiple redundant flight control computers. 6. The method as recited in claim 5, wherein communicating display data includes communicating primary flight display symbology and communicating multi function display symbology. 7. The method as recited in claim 5, wherein communicating display data includes communicating multi function display symbology. 8. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising communicating bezel input data and communicating outputs to a flight control actuation system. 9. The method as recited in claim 5, further comprising communicating outputs to a flight control actuation system. 10. The method as recited in claim 5, including calculating flight control laws and outputting control values to produce changes in hydraulic, electrical, or mechanical flight control actuation systems.
