Dynamic Evaluation of Absolute Altimeter Configurations.
Abstract
Six absolute altimeter display configurations were evaluated in a dynamic situation. Utilizing a GAT II-H simulator, seven rotary-wing aviators 'flew' two simulated nap-of-the-earth missions using each of the six different altimeters. Performance data was collected on reading speed, reading accuracy and pilot preference. The results indicated a significant difference between altimeters with regard to range, scale changes, and placement of the zero point. Questionnaire and rating scale data indicated strong personal preferences.
