A study was conducted to test the effect on airport surface situational awareness of CPS derived position information depicted on a prototypical electronic taxi chart display. The effect of position error and position uncertainty symbology were also tested. Situational awareness was assessed by asking 12 airline pilots a series of probe questions about their Location on the airport surface. The pilots used static 'snapshot' images of a north-up electronic taxi ...
This report describes the research program being conducted at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center on the development of electronic aeronautical charts. The design of electronic aeronautical navigation charts raises many interrelated human factors issues including those pertaining to the physical aspects of the display screens (e.g., location in the cockpit, screen resolution, color capability, brightness range) and those affecting the piLot interaction with the software (i.e., pilot interpretation of ...
