Institution National Aerospace Laboratory NLR Date 1980-05-16 Abstract The visual scene is an important source of information for the manual approach and landing task. This study deals with the effect of this information in combination with basic display information on the manual approach performance. In this context, a pre-experimental theoretical analysis has been performed in terms of the optimal control model. This pilot-aircraft model analysis resulted in approach performance predictions which could be compared with the experimental results of a moving base simulator program. The results illustrate that the model provides a meaningful description of the visual (scene) perception provess involved in the complex (multivariable, time varying) manual approach task with a useful predictive capability. The theoretical framework has been shown to allow a straightforward investigation of the complex interaction of a variety of task variables.
