FLIGHT SIMULATION STUDY OF AIR-TO-AIR RANGING DISPLAYS FOR SEPARATION ASSURANCE.

Abstract

Three flight simulation tests assessed the operational value for separation assurance of cockpit display of: (a) warning that another aircraft has intruded within 60 miles, plus constant display of intruder range; (b) the same warning and present range, plus pilot-to-pilot communications; and (c) the warning and present range, plus relative bearing of the intruder, without communications. All three added displays were adquate for overtaking intrusions with no one method very superior to the others. Head-on and beam intrusions produced less assurance. Potentially serious errors of interpretation occurred with all three displays in high closure rate head-ons. (Author)
