A system, device, and method for rapidly accessing a display of aircraft information are disclosed. The aircraft rapid access display system could include a input device for controlling a cursor; at least one aircraft system owning a user application (UA); and a display system including one or more definition files defining layer(s) and rapid access layer(s), a system configuration file, a display unit, and a processing module (PU) configured to communicate with the input device, each UA, and the display unit. The PU may be configured to acquire the definition file(s); acquire the system configuration file; monitor the movement of the cursor; generate an image data set representative of the cursor and one or more layer(s) and rapid access layer(s) as a function of the definition file(s), the system configuration file, and the movement of the cursor; and present the image on the display unit.
