A Study of Pilot Performance During a Glide-Slope Approach When Rate Information is Supplied via the Peripheral Vision.
Abstract
A presentation is made of the findings of a fixed-base simulation study during which the rate of glide-slope deviation was provided via the peripheral vision to the pilot, while flying a simulated glide-slope approach. The method used to supply glide-slope deviation was by the movement of alternating black and white lines displayed in the peripheral vision. Pilot performance was measured during glide-slope runs performed without the peripheral display and a comparison made with performance measured during use of the display. A presentation is also made of the findings of a simulation involving a second-order critical task.
