Abstract
A method implemented by computer for the display of information relating to the flight of an aircraft comprises receiving indication of a selection of an arbitrary display zone on a screen of an onboard computer of the aircraft; and reconfiguring the display, in response to the indication. Developments describe several geometric transformations, various display reconfigurations (e.g. centering of the display), the use of systems third party to the aircraft (e.g. taxiing computer, ground client, maintenance, terrain monitoring, traffic, weather), associated operations of revisions of the flight plan, the use of display rules (notably associated with the flight situation), and the emergency deactivation of the display reconfigurations. Computer programs and associated systems are also described (notably Man-System Interface, virtual and/or augmented reality).
