A direct view camera system (DVCS) provides a live, unaugmented visual feed from outside an aircraft or spacecraft to the crew inside. It is typically used to monitor blind spots, cargo hooks, or external payloads during flight. Unlike synthetic vision or infrared, a DVCS relies on standard visible light to give the pilot a true representation of the exterior environment.

Switch the main display to the DVCS so I can see the slingload clearance.
