A flight deck display system (100) and related operating methods for an aircraft are provided. The system (100) includes a processor architecture (104) and a display element (106) coupled to the processor architecture (104). The processor architecture (104) is configured to receive real-time aircraft data and terrain data (108) for the aircraft and, based upon the real-time aircraft data and the terrain data (108), generate image rendering display commands. The display element (106) receives the image rendering display commands and, in response thereto, renders a primary flight display that includes a conformal view of terrain (302, 402, 506, 606) corresponding to a flight deck viewpoint. The primary flight display also includes a conformal terrain avoidance guidance (TAG) element (304, 404, 508, 608) on the view of terrain (302, 402, 506, 606). The TAG element (304, 404, 508, 608) includes visual indicia of a desired navigation path that is intended to avoid terrain that obstructs a current flight path of the aircraft.
