    An Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) replaces traditional electromechanical flight instruments with electronic displays like LCD screens. A typical EFIS comprises a Primary Flight Display (PFD) and Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI). The PFD integrates information on altitude, attitude, airspeed, and flight director guidance onto one screen. The EHSI, also called the Navigation Display, shows data like headings, tracks, bearings, and lateral deviation in addition to maps and weather information.

    Electronic Flight Instrument System

    An Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) is a flight deck instrument display system in which the display
    technology used is electronic rather than electromechanical.

    Early EFIS systems portray information using cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. Later instrument displays are
    presented on multi-colour liquid-crystal display (LCD) screens, which replace some or all of the conventional
    flight instruments for both pilots.

    A typical EFIS system comprises a Primary Flight Display (PFD) (Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI)) and
    an Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) (Navigation Display). In some designs the two displays are
    integrated into one.

    Primary Flight Display

    The Primary Flight Display (PFD) is an instrument which integrates and depicts, on a single display, all of the
    information that was historically presented on a number of individual electromechanical instruments. Modern
    PFD displays virtually all of the information that the pilot requires to determine basic flight parameters (altitude,
    attitude, airspeed, rate of climb, heading, etc) plus autopilot and auto-throttle engagement status, flight director
    modes and approach status. Depending upon the phase of flight and pilot selections, the flight director will
    provide appropriate lateral guidance to maintain the selected track, heading or approach and missed approach
    track and vertical guidance for climb and descent, level off, approach and missed approach. 

    Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI)

    The Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI), often referred to as the Navigation Display (ND), replaces a
    number of different instruments found on a conventional aircraft instrument panel, and may be used to depict
    some or all of the following information:

     heading flown;
     heading or track selected;
     bearing to or from a navigation beacon (VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR), Distance Measuring
    Equipment (DME));
     lateral deviation from a selected track;
     ground speed, distance and time to go;
     aeronautical map;
     weather information;

    The main characteristics of the Navigation Display or is the colour screen and the ability to display different
    modes and functions: route flown, VOR, AFD, ILS, Weather Radar, TCAS.
