ABSTRACT

This chapter describes several flight test techniques for assessing the situation awareness aspects of cockpit flight displays. Background for these discussions is presented in Chapter 7 (page 53).

Direct Evaluations

Attitude Awareness

This flight test complements the standard unusual attitude recovery where the pilot is placed in a UA and tasked to recover. This test is designed to evaluate the abi1ity of the display symbology to convey spatial orientation awareness to the pilot. a Objectives: The objectives are to evaluate the ability of the display and

symbology to convey spatial orientation awareness to the pilot and to evaluate the display to provide cues to allow pilots to recognize and recover from inadvertent UAs.
