Objective: A conceptual model is proposed in order to explain pilot performance in surprising and startling situations. Background: Today’s debate around loss of control following in-flight events and the implementation of upset prevention and recovery training has highlighted the importance of pilots’ ability to deal with unexpected events....

The experiments described had three main objectives: First, to validate the recommendations for an improved Man Machine Interface (MMI) design based on a Phase I experiment on the human factors of data link in glass cockpits. Second, to investigate the effect of directly loading data linked Air Traffic Control (ATC) instructions into the various...

A data-communication link via Internet has been established between the Crew-Vehicle Systems Research Facility (CVSRF) at the NASA Ames Research Center and the CTAS/NARSIM Simulation Facility (CNSF) at the NLR. Multiple simulated arrival flights of the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator (ACFS) for Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands...

Two different design-philosophies with respect to the Man-Machine Interface of current auto thrust systems were compared in a flight simulator study. With the so-called moving thrust lever concept, the positions of the thrust levers are servo-controlled by the auto thrust system. Hence, the thrust levers provide the pilot with additional...

The flight simulator study described in this report concerns an evaluation of manually flown, flight director aided, curved MLS approach and departure procedures with a simulated wide-body transport aircraft. Four curved approach paths and two departure procedures have been evaluated, where these procedures were determined to be beneficial from...

In July, 1988, flight trials have been performed on the newly installed MLS equipment at Manchester Airport (UK), using one of the laboratory aircraft of NLR, a Fairchild Metro II with programmable avionics systems including a basic MLS receiver as an "Avionics Research Testbed". The aim of the tests was to prove that aircraft with basic IFR...

Erkelens, L.J.J. (author)
The present flight simulator study has been addressed to the evaluation of the approach path parameters for curved approach paths. A number of seven oblique approach paths has been investigated, varying in both straight final length and oblique angle. The investigation was carried out for various operating minima (decision height, runway visual...

The Working Group on All-Weather Operations of the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) has initiated a study concerning the factors influencing the minium required visibility at take-off. In two special checkout sessions on the KLM Boeing 747 flight simulator, the experimental conditions have been defined for an investigation directed at...

Future transport aircraft will be different from to-day's in that they will be designed to be statically neutrally stable or even unstable to improve economics, while the stability will be provided by means of a fly-by-wire flight control system. Since this system will be flight critical it is necessary to develop a philosophy on the treatment...

Wewerinke, P.H. (author)
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....

The application of Active Control Technology concepts and in particular the Relaxed Static Stability principle in certain categories of future transport aircraft will lead to the introduction of primary flight control systems incorporating full-time stability augmentation. For this category of transport aircraft adequate handling quality...

Smit, J. (author)
During a visual approach to landing a pilot uses cues in the visual scene for the control of aircraft attitude and flight path. The accuracy with which some relevant display elements can "be set at a desired, nominal, position was determined in an experiment via the phychophysical "method of adjustment". Furthermore relevant literature with...

The outside scene is often an important soiirce of information for manual control tasks. In the context of aircraft control the most important example is the visual approach scene. This study deals with modelling the visual scene perception process on the basis of linear perspective geometry and the relative motion cues and investigates its...

The study described in this report was aimed at assessing the potentials of the optimal control model structure to predict the important characteristics of realistic operational helicopter missions. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that the optimal control model succesfully predicts the best attainable (rather than the average)...

A description is given of flight tests related to the effect of various levels of (artificial) positive stick force stability on the longitudinal controllability in the landing approach of an attitudestabilized aircraft. Approach performance and pilot commentary of 60 ILS/VASIS approaches flown with a twin-engined jet transport have been...

This report deals with a theoretical and experimental program concerning human monitoring and and control behaviour. A model for multivariable monitoring (an automatic approach) was tested against experimental data. Apart from monitoring, simultaneously monitoring and manual flight director control was studied to determine the interference...

Hofman, C.F.G.M. (author)
Aircraft noise perceived on the ground can be reduced by decelerating the aircraft during the landing approach. As an additional benefit the lower thrust settings existing during a part of the approach and the shorter approach time result in a reduced fuel consumption as compared to a conventional approach. This report deals with an experiment...

This paper deals with the resiilts of a theoretical and experimental program concerning human monitoring behavior. Apart from monitoring an automatic approach combined monitoring and manual flight director control was studied to determine the interference between subtasks. Also simultaneously monitoring and auditory tracking was included. The...
