This may include information coming Cockpit Display Systems (CDS) are an essential component of from different user applications, the flight management system, modern aircraft cockpits and display information from the user application (UA) using various widgets. A significant step in the flight control unit and the warnings generated by different testing of avionics is to evaluate whether these CDS are displaying hardware components. Testing that the information displayed the correct information. A common industrial practice is to on the CDS is correct is an important part of the overall testing manually test the information on these CDS by taking the aircraft activities of an aircraft.
