Two Studies of Predictor Displays for Jet Aircraft Landings. (1) Optimization of Control Stick Dynamics and Prediction Span Parameters. (2) A Comparison Between Experienced and Novice Navy F-4 Pilot Simulated Landing Performances.
Abstract
Two further studies are reported concerning the utility of a predictor display instrument in landing jet aircraft. In the first study, the length of prediction span and control stick dynamics were systematically varied and compared to baseline (no prediction and no stick/control response-delay) condition. Performances on all predictor display conditions were superior to the baseline and the best performance was seen on the experimental condition with the longest prediction span and the longest stick/control response-delay. In the second study, a 6-degree of freedom F-4 night carrier landing simulation was flown by pilots who were (N=6) or were not (N=6) experienced in that type aircraft.
