Abstract:

The effect on simulated GPS instrument approach performance and workload resulting from the addition of Track Angle Error (TAE) information to cockpit RNAV receiver displays in explicit analog form was studied experimentally (S display formats, 6 pilots, 20 approaches each) in a Frasca 242 light twin aircraft simulator. Inter subject differences in ability to use the displays were found, but sliding and tilting pointer TAE formats significantly improved intercept and tracking performance measures. Determination of wind correction angle was simplified. Workload scores were not significantly influenced by display format, but depended on approach geometry and phase.
