1. A mounting system configured to mount a personal electronic device (PED) having a PED display in an aircraft flight deck and provide a visible indication when a fault condition exists concerning the display of critical aeronautical information on the PED display, the mounting system comprising:
a base configured to receive the PED and securely mount the PED on the aircraft flight deck;
a lid configured to cooperate with the base when in a closed position to encase the PED;
a plurality of light sources in the base that are fitted around the PED when the PED is mounted in the base, the plurality of light sources configured as an electrically actuated color indicator configured to provide an annunciation regarding the PED;
a first magnet positioned on the lid and a second magnet mounted on the base, wherein one of the first magnet and the second magnet comprises a permanent magnet and one of the first magnet and the second magnet comprises an electrically actuated magnet; and
a controller in the mounting adaptor configured to:
obtain a captured frame of the PED display;
send the captured frame to a data integrity entity for determining whether a problem exists with an image displayed on the PED display; and
enable the electrically actuated magnet responsive to receiving an annunciation indicator from the data integrity entity indicating that the problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display; and
command the plurality of light sources fitted around the PED to illuminate in a first visible color that indicates that the PED display was shut off because the problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display responsive to receiving an annunciation indicator from the data integrity entity indicating that the problem exists with the image displayed on the PED display;
wherein the electrically actuated magnet when enabled is configured to cooperate with the permanent magnet to cause the PED display to shut off.
