A display system for an aircraft cockpit, said display system (1) comprising:
- a plurality of display devices (2A to 2F), each of which comprises at least one associated viewing screen (3A to 3F) which is able to display, as display format, at least one navigation format;
- and
- at least one cursor management means (4) enabling a pilot of the aircraft to move at least one cursor (CU) which can be moved over said viewing screens (3A to 3F), and enable a sensitive object that is designated by this cursor (CU),
- wherein it also comprises a data transmission network (6) which interlinks the various display devices (2A to 2F) of said display system (1), and each of said display devices (2A to 2F) comprises, in addition to the associated viewing screen (3A to 3F):
- a first means (8) for automatically determining the display format which is displayed on the associated viewing screen;
- a second means (10) for automatically detecting the presence of said cursor on the associated viewing screen;
- a third means (12) for automatically determining the current geographic position (PG) of the cursor (CU) on the associated viewing screen, when a navigation format is displayed and the presence of said cursor is detected;
- a fourth means (12, 15) for transmitting, as necessary, this current geographic position (PG) to the other display devices of the display system (1), via said data transmission network (6);
- and
- a fifth means (16) which is activatable and which displays, when activated, at least one characteristic symbol (S1, S2) on the associated viewing screen, if the latter does not contain said cursor and if it displays as display format a navigation format, said auxiliary symbol (S1, S2) being positioned in said current geographic position (PG).
