Tactical Situation Displays: Integrated Versus Separate Information Presentation,

Abstract

In the scope of a study on tactical situation displays in the cockpit of modern fighter aircraft, a simulator experiment has been conducted on integrated ('highway in the sky') versus separate presentation of flight information. Results of the experiment show that the 'highway in the sky' especially for 'slow' tasks (slow in relation to aircraft dynamics) leads to more accurate flight performance because of the integrated feedback of the aircraft state, when compared to separate information presentation. However, for 'rapid tasks', where the emphasis is on feedforward control, the separate information presentation is to be preferred because of the more constant preview as a result of the decoupling of the information presentation along different dimensions.
