Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cons of projected HUDs A special windshield/coating is required. The viewing angles are limited. The projector shakes when the vehicle shakes, resulting in blurry images. They don’t work for vertical windows and windshields, making them unsuitable for buses, RVs, trucks, or vans in most cases.

Detailed explanation-2: -No, but they may have instruction on how to configure the wing flaps and the landing gear in an emergency, and where to land. For example, a pilot might learn the best way to crash into rough seas-i.e., how to decide whether to land on the crest or in the trough of a wave.

Detailed explanation-3: -“Head-up displays help you stay informed while keeping you focused on the road ahead. You can set what information to be displayed on the windshield. It is useful for multitasking because it allows you to check speed and direction at a glance.”

Detailed explanation-4: -A HUD-Head Up Display-is a means of presenting information to the pilot in the line of their external forward vision which projects key flight instrument data onto a small ‘see-through’ screen positioned just in front of the pilot line of sight looking ahead out of the aircraft.
