Abstract:

The effects of the rotating pointers and gradation marks of head-up display (HUD) airspeed

indicator (ASI) and altimeter symbology formats were examined. The effects of the gradation

marks were of special interest, as being able to remove them would help reduce display clutter.

The three formats examined included: rotating pointers with gradation marks, rotating pointers

without gradation marks, and digits only. The pilots' eye-movement data collected during flight

simulations indicated significant changes in both ASI and altimeter fixation durations between

the rotating-pointer formats and digits only, but no difference between the rotating-pointer

formats themselves. However, the differences between them were found in the vertical speed

indicator fixations and the flight task strategies estimated by Hidden Markov Model analysis.

Results provided first empirical support for the potential value of the gradation marks.
