AN EXPLORATORY SIMULATION STUDY OF A HEAD-UP DISPLAY FOR GENERAL AVIATION LIGHTPLANES

摘要

The concept of a simplified head-up display referred to as a landing sjLte indicator (LASI) for use in lightplanes is discussed. Results of a fixed-base simulation study exploring the feasibility of the LASI concept are presented in terms of measurements of pilot per formance, control-activity parameters, and subjective comments of four test subjects. These subjects, all of whom had various degrees of piloting experience in this type aircraft, per formed a series of simulated landings both with and without the LASI starting from different initial conditions in the final approach leg of the landing maneuver.
