• 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.
