Abstract:

The effects of delay in the presentation of visual information on pilot performance during simulated carrier landing tasks were investigated. The TRADEC research flight simulator was used in conjunction with an Evans and Sutherland LDS 1 calligraphic visual display system for several different initial conditions, with and without delayed visual presentation, in conducting evaluations of pilot learning performance and piloting technique. The experimental construction, conduction, data analysis and results are presented.
