Vision guidance systems and methods for aircraft

A vision guidance system of an aircraft, the system comprising:

• a synthetic vision system;
• an enhanced vision system;
• a multifunction controller disposed in a glare shield panel of the aircraft;
• one or more data processors operatively coupled to the multifunction controller, to the synthetic vision system and to the enhanced vision system;
• and
• non-transitory machine-readable memory operatively coupled to the one or more data processors and storing instructions executable by the one or more processors and configured to cause the one or more processors to:
• after receiving an input indicative of a desired activation of a combined vision guidance operating mode of the vision guidance system via the multifunction controller, cause activation of the combined vision guidance operating mode, the combined vision guidance operating mode including use of a combination of synthetic vision and enhanced vision.
