Effects of Heave Washout Filtering on Motion Fidelity and Pilot Control Behavior for a Large Commercial Airliner

Due to the significant translational heave motion at the pilot station associated with changes in aircraft pitch attitude, themotion cueing for aircraft pitchmaneuvering typically requires significant heave washout filtering. Previous studies that attempted to motivate choices in the motion cueing strategy for pitch maneuvering based on...

Comparing Multimodal Pilot Pitch Control Behavior Between Simulated and Real Flight

In order to improve the tuning process of flight simulator motion cueing filters and support the development of objective simulator motion cueing requirements, a better understanding of how multimodal pilot control behavior is affected by simulator motion fidelity is required. To this end, an experiment was performed where seven pilots performed...

Effects of Displayed Error Scaling in Compensatory Roll-Axis Tracking Tasks

This paper describes an investigation into the effects of displayed error scaling on manual control behavior during compensatory roll-axis tracking. Previous experiments have indicated that for compensatory displays that, similar to an artificial horizon, present the roll tracking errors in rotational form, the deviations for typical quasi...

Modeling Human Dynamics in Combined Ramp-Following and Disturbance-Rejection Tasks

This paper investigates the modeling of humanmanual control behavior for pursuit tracking tasks in which target forcing functions consisting of multiple ramp-like changes in target attitude are used. Due to the use of a pursuit display and the predictability of such forcing function signals, it can be anticipated that a pursuit or precognitive...
