Impact of aviation highway-in-the-sky displays on pilot situation awareness

摘要

Thirty-six pilots(31 men, 5 women)were tested in a flight simulator on their ability to intercept a pathway depicted on a highway-in-the-sky(HITS)display. While intercepting and flying the pathway, pilots were required to watch for traffic Outside the cockpit. Additionally, pilots were tested on their awareness of speed, Altitude, and heading during the flight. Results indicated that the presence of a Flight guidance cue significantly improved fight path awareness while intercepting The pathway, but significant practice effects suggest that a guidance cue might be Unnecessary if pilots are given proper training.
