Head-up Display Warning Requirements Research

Abstract

A study of head-up display requirements was conducted to determine aircraft and mission warning information to be included in the head-up display and how this information should best be presented to the pilot. Using the A-7E as a representative aircraft, a review was made of discrete warning, caution, and advisory information available from various aircraft and mission systems. Candidate warning messages were analyzed for pilot response in each general mission phase. Current practice in aircraft warning systems was reviewed. An extensive survey was conducted of pilot experience with the A-7E head-up display. Display format requirements were identified and developed using human engineering analysis, pilot opinion, and laboratory experimentation.
