Cockpit display systems (10) and methods (80) are provided for performing Glide Slope (G/S) validation processes during Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches. In one embodiment, the cockpit display system utilizes validated G/S signals to selectively correct the viewpoint of a Synthetic Vision System (SVS) scene generated on a Synthetic Vision Primary Flight Display (SV-FPD (22)). In such an embodiment, the cockpit display system may include an ILS receiver (30), a cockpit display device (14) on which the SV-PFD is generated, and a controller (12) coupled to the display device and to the ILS receiver. During an ILS approach, the controller selectively performs a G/S validation algorithm to determine the validity of the G/S signals received during the ILS approach. If determining that the G/S signals are valid, the controller then repeatedly updates the SVS viewpoint during the ILS approach based, at least in part, on the validated G/S signals.
