1. A method for altering a display on a display area of an aircraft, the method comprising:
determining whether a condition of the aircraft is met; and
when the condition is met, causing an alteration of a display of flight information on the display area to declutter a cutout region in an image generated by a vision system, the cutout region devoid of imaging generated by the vision system and displaying an Approach Lighting System (ALS) of a runway of intended landing for the aircraft, wherein the alteration of the display of flight information on the display area comprises moving the flight information from a first location overlapping the cutout region on the display area to a second location on the display area to reduce an overlap of the flight information with the cutout region and unobstruct the cutout region.
