Head-mounted see-through displays and methods are provided which improve helicopter displays and provide more relevant information to the pilot while reducing the information load on the display. Displays comprise a peripheral pilot-scene pitch indication region, indicating scene orientation information according to an orientation of the pilot's head with respect to the scene, a propulsion state indication region, indicating rotor and engines states with respect to their nominal operation states by presenting only deviations of the rotor and engines states from their nominal operation states, a speed indication region, indicating, in association with displayed air speed, a calculated ground speed or a calculated ground speed component in a direction of propagation and a helicopter pitch indication region displaying a pitch ladder which is re-arranged to space close pitch lines and crowd remote pitch lines.
