Abstract

A technique relates to adaptive flight display. The technique includes rendering a first flight instrument display during autonomous flight operation of an aircraft, the first flight instrument display comprising autonomous mode information; determining, by a processor, that a trigger is met to transition from the first flight instrument display for the autonomous flight operation to a second flight instrument display for providing an increased perception of aircraft operating parameters for at least one of increased human awareness and human operation of the aircraft, the trigger being associated with a requirement for human intervention; and in response to the trigger being met, rendering the second flight instrument display for the human operation of the aircraft, the second flight instrument display comprising additional information.
