Factors Affecting in-Trail Following Using CDTI (Cockpit Display of Traffic Information),

Authors: James R. Kelly; David H. Williams; NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION HAMPTON VA LANGLEY RESEARCH CENTER

Abstract: A joint NASA-FAA program is being conducted to explore the potential benefits and liabilities of Cockpit Display of Traffic Information (CDTI) for a broad range of applications. As part of this effort, piloted simulations have been conducted to determine the effect of various display parameters and separation criteria on terminal area in-trail following using CDTI. Both a conventional air carrier configuration, wherein the traffic data is presented on a centrally located weather radar scope, and an advanced configuration, where the data is superimposed on the primary navigation display, have been investigated. The scenarios employed have ranged from following a single lead aircraft to following multiple CDTI-equipped aircraft queues. This paper summarizes the results of these experiments and discusses their implications on the design and use of CDTI for in-trail separation.
