Methods and apparatus are provided for displaying terrain and attitude data symbology for an aircraft. The apparatus is a hybrid centered head-down display for an aircraft having a monitor configured to generate a display and a processor coupled to the display. The display has a centerline. The processor is configured to calculate a displayed drift angle limit, a displayed drift angle, align the centerline of the display with reference to the displayed drift angle, and generate on the display a first symbol corresponding to a terrain and a second symbol corresponding to an attitude of the aircraft. The processor is further configured to center the first symbol and the second symbol with reference to the centerline.
