Predictor Displays as Training Aids in Carrier Landings.

Abstract

This report presents an evaluation of the effectiveness of predictor displays as training aids in carrier landing. An experiment was performed in which two predictor displays were compared with a control condition, where the principal measure was total approaches necessary to reach criterion performance. Also evaluated were three presentation modes for the predictor displays. The experiment was carried out on a low-cost device which simulated an A-7 aircraft. Analysis of the data indicated no significant differences between groups; although one predictor display consistently yielded better performance than the other conditions. (Author)
