General aviation MFD, showing navigation and weather information.
A Multi-function display (MFD) is a small screen (CRT or LCD) in an aircraft surrounded by multiple buttons that can be used to display information to the pilot in numerous configurable ways. Often an MFD will be used in concert with a Primary Flight Display.
Many MFDs allow the pilot to display their navigation route, moving map, weather radar, GPWS, TCAS and airport information all on the same screen.
