Line 9:
Many MFDs allow the pilot to display their navigation route, moving map, weather radar, [[NEXRAD]], [[Ground Proximity Warning System|GPWS]], [[Traffic Collision Avoidance System|TCAS]] and airport information all on the same screen.
MFDs were added to the [[Space Shuttle]] (as the glass cockpit) starting in 1998 replacing the analog instruments and CRTs. The information being displayed is similar, and the glass cockpit was first flown on the [[STS-101]] mission. The [[Cirrus SR20]] became the first [[Federal Aviation Administration|FAA]] [[type certificate|certified]] general aviation aircraft to be delivered with an MFD in 1999, followed closely by the [[Columbia 300 (aircraft)|Columbia 300]] in 2000.
In modern automotive technology, MFDs are used in cars to display navigation, entertainment and vehicle status information.
