Abstract:The problem of displaying visibility information to both
controller and pilot is discussed in the context of visibility
information flow in the airport-aircraft system.
The optimum amount of visibility information, as well as its
rate of flow and display, depends both on the needs of the pilot
during landing and on the air traffic control philosophy (tactical
or strategic) chosen.
A rationale is provided to assist in the selection of flow rates
and readouts. The relationship of visibility information to the
magnitude of terminal information handled by the pilot is discussed.
Several display formats are proposed, including one for the traffic
controller and three different options for the pilot.
