Cockpit Display Based Visual Separation During an Instrument Approach: Effect of Traffic Display Size and Location: Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) Enhanced Flight Rules (CEFR) Simulation 2
Abstract
At many busy airports maximum efficiency and minimum delay occur when visual approaches are being conducted by pilots using visual separation from traffic for a portion of the approach. Pilot willingness to accept responsibility for visual separation also affords controllers maximum flexibility in traffic management under conditions of high traffic load. It may be possible to extend that efficiency to lower weather conditions if pilots are able to perform similar tasks by reference to a Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) in lieu of visual contact out-the-window. This concept is termed CDTI Enhanced Flight Rules (CEFR). CEFR procedures may be applicable during visual or instrument approaches, this study examined the instrument approach application with particular attention to the pilot acceptability of different CDTI locations and sizes.
