| CHAPTER 5. Information Systems
Since the volume of information now available in the cockpit
cannot be presented on a single display, or would clutter
a single display to the point of unintelligibility, you must
decide what information is needed at any given point in your
flight. You will learn how information systems can be used to
enhance situational awareness and increase the safety margin.
It is important to avoid the pitfalls of using enhanced weather,
traffic, and terrain information to fly closer to hazardous
situations. This negates any safety advantage created by
advanced avionics. Advanced avionics aircraft crash due to
the same causes as aircraft with traditional instrumentation.
