ABSTRACT
Computer-generated display technology has provided not only an enhanced means for presenting data on the flight deck, but also a capability to tailor those data into a representation that better serves the flight crew. Though numerous display formats have been developed that take advantage of these capabilities, the formal processes of display design (Banks, Hunter, & Noviski, 1985; Department of Defense [DOD], 1987; Frey, Sides, Hunt, & Rouse, 1984) have not. The display design process presented here focuses on providing information that is tailored to the user’s task, which is enabled by advanced computational capabilities that allow displays to provide this task-oriented information.
