Intuitive flight display for light aircraft.

摘要

Responsible piloting requires constant mental effort to monitor the aircraft's systems, conduct flight data management and, in extreme cases, to develop and execute a correction plan within the constrains of limited time. This is in direct contradiction with human ability to successfully solve simultaneous data management tasks while under stress. Modern light aircraft are designed to support a wide community of pilots with different levels of piloting skills and personal preferences. The SimStar light aircraft flight simulator with its intuitive flight display was designed to improve situational awareness and to support pilot decision making processes. Initial testing of SimStar and its advanced flight display system was performed on the cockpit section of an Evektor SportStar, a popular light aircraft.
