• Abstract:
  This report is a follow-on analysis of maneuver data, pilot response time data, and air traffic control interaction data that was collected in a research study by Williams, Caddigan, and Zingale (2017). That study was conducted to assist the standards development group, RTCA Special Committee 228, in the establishment of minimum information requirements for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Detect and Avoid (DAA) traffic displays. The research tested four different display configurations. These were a baseline display, and the baseline display with either a closest point of approach (CPA) indication, avoidance area information, or banding information that provided horizontal and vertical vectors to avoid to prevent a loss of well clear from an intruder aircraft. Details of that research are provided in Williams et al. (2017).
