Aural Glide Slope Cues: Their Effect on Pilot Performance during In-Flight Simulated ILS Instrument Approaches

Abstract

Forty instrument rated commercial and ATR pilots with 250 to 12,271 flight hours each flew ten simulated ILS approaches in a single engine, general aviation aircraft. Divided into five groups, each group used a different glide slope cue display in combination with a modified 'T' instrument panel configuration. Two types of aural glide slope cue displays were utilized: voice, and Morse code signals.
