This Phase III report is the last of a series of interim | |
and data reports dealing with offsets and turn | |
anticipation techniques using a single Waypoint analog | |
RNAV system and a noncentered needle CDI instrument. | |
Eight instrument rated pilots participated in a series of | |
flight simulation tests employing solo pilot techniques | |
which were conducted at the National Aviation Facilities | |
Experimental Center (NAFEC) in order to measure total | |
system crosstrack (TSCT) and flight technical error (FTE) | |
as well as operational pilot performance. The tests were | |
designed to assess pilot performance for: (1) | |
anticipation of turns while maintaining a desired offset, | |
and (2) steady state parallel offset tracking | |
proficiency. Performance was measured on these variables: | |
horizontal tracking, airspeed control and procedural | |
performance. The horizontal tracking data included both | |
steady state (parallel offset) and transition (parallel | |
offset) data. The major findings of this study were: (1) | |
No significant differences exist between the offset turn | |
data and the offset steady state data in terms of TSCT or | |
FTE magnitude; and (2) the procedures used for shallow | |
angle turns (29 deg and 48 deg) and the logic for the | |
interception of the final approach course have a | |
potential for blunders. (Author) | |
