What happens if the primary flight display (PFD) fails?

If the primary flight display (PFD) fails, displaying PFD information on the multifunction display (MFD) is a common feature in many modern aircraft equipped with integrated avionics systems. This capability allows the pilot to continue to access essential flight data crucial for maintaining situational awareness and ensuring safe flight operations.

By having the ability to transfer or display the PFD's information on the MFD, pilots can mitigate the impact of the PFD failure. This redundancy demonstrates the importance of aircraft design, where critical information can still be presented to the pilot in an alternate format.

In this context, the option regarding an immediate need to land or losing all information would represent a more severe consequence and do not reflect the functionalities built into modern avionics systems to maintain safety and operational continuity.
