Boeing 787 Head-Up Display in detail

A Brief explanation of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Head-Up Display.

A HUD is a transparent display that presents data without requiring pilots to look away from their usual viewpoints, on the B787 it has 3 positions: stowed, operating and breakaway.
In a sudden and sustained deceleration the screen rotates forward and locks in the breakaway position, this prevents the pilot's head from impacting the HUD.
There are no lateral or vertical adjustments for the HUD, forcing the pilot to always be seated in the correct position. At first, that could be uncomfortable but pilots get used to.
At higher altitudes the HUD horizon line may appear slightly above the actual horizon due to curvature of the earth.
The primary fuction of the HUD in commercial airlines is for conducting low visibility takeoff and landings, flying with HUD makes landings more precise and easier.
