During the upgrade of the F-14 to the F-14D, pilots have |
|
expressed their concerns regarding the obscuration of the |
|
forward field-of-view due to the new Head-up Display |
|
(HUD) supports in conjunction with preexisting windscreen |
|
bows. An additional issue involves the proposed use of |
|
the HUD as the primary flight reference instrument. The |
|
HUD pitch ladder has been criticized for not providing |
|
enough information to enhance recovery from unusual |
|
attitudes. The purpose of the present study was, |
|
therefore, twofold: (1) to measure the levels of 'target' |
|
detection with and without windscreen bows, and (2) to |
|
measure unusual attitude recovery performance using two |
|
different HUD pitch ladder formats - Standard versus |
|
Enhanced. During simulated flight, twelve subjects were |
|
required to make visual detections of enemy aircraft with |
|
and without the windscreen bow. Additionally, subjects |
|
were required to recover from various pitch/roll |
|
combinations. Keywords: Human factors engineering, Headup |
