Book Head Up Displays  Designing the Way Ahead

Download or read book Head Up Displays Designing the Way Ahead written by Richard L. Newman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough description of this increasingly important technology, starting from the development of head-up displays (HUDs), particularly specifications and standards and operational problems associated with HUD use. HUD involvement in spatial disorientation and its use in recognizing and recovering from unusual attitudes is discussed. The book summarizes the design criteria including hardware, software, interface and display criteria. It goes on to outline flight tasks to be used for evaluating HUDs and discusses the impact of HUDs on flight training. Recent work indicates that a HUD may allow a significant reduction in the time required to train a pilot on a particular aircraft, even considering non-HUD-related tasks. The author concludes with a review of unresolved HUD issues and recommendations for further research and provides an impressive bibliography, glossary and index. Within the military aviation sector the book will be of use to industry, research agencies, test pilot schools and air force training establishments. In the civil area regulatory authorities, airlines and industry will also have an increasing interest.

Book A Comparison Study of Peripheral Vision Restricting Devices Used for Instrument Training

Download or read book A Comparison Study of Peripheral Vision Restricting Devices Used for Instrument Training written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, civilian and military flight instructors have used peripheral vision-restricting devices (PVRDs) in order to enhance instrument flight training that was performed during periods of visual conditions (outside of clouds). In addition to limiting a pilot's view only to the primary flight instruments, PVRDs also cause the artificial exclusion of the full cockpit environment, i.e., overhead switches and gauges, and those on the center and opposite-pilot side of the instrument panel. These restrictions and loss of peripheral information and spatial orientation can, and do, cause adverse physiological and psychological effects on some pilots. PVRDs must be worn in accordance with current directives regardless of any identified negative effects on training and proficiency. This study attempted to identify the most preferred PVRD among three devices reportedly used by a survey population and a newly designed hood concept. When considering all of the data in aggregate, the Novel Hood was judged the most preferred based on performance ratings, minimal reports of adverse affects, and its selection as the first choice of one-half of the participants. The most preferred device among those readily available for use by aviators appears to be the visor sticker. The Foggles(trade name) received "worst" ratings in both the field of view and comfort categories. The hood was easily identifiable as the least favored. It received generally poor performance appraisals and caused a sizeable number of reported adverse effects, including loss of situational awareness and spatial disorientation. Its overall favorable ratings and demonstrated promise of minimizing the adverse effects associated with PVRD use during instrument flight training indicate its acceptability to the aviation community. It is also recommended that the U.S. Army issue the visor sticker as an interim "standard" for meeting the conditions set forth in all aircrew training manuals.

Book Human Performance and Limitations in Aviation

Download or read book Human Performance and Limitations in Aviation written by R. D. Campbell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human error is cited as a major cause in over 70% of accidents, andit is widely agreed that a better understanding of humancapabilities and limitations - both physical and psychological -would help reduce human error and improve flight safety. This book was first published when the UK Civil AviationAuthority introduced an examination in human performance andlimitations for all private and professional pilot licences. Nowthe Joint Aviation Authorities of Europe have published a newsyllabus as part of their Joint Aviation Requirements for FlightCrew Licensing. The book has been completely revised and rewritten to takeaccount of the new syllabus. The coverage of basic aviationpsychology has been greatly expanded, and the section on aviationphysiology now includes topics on the high altitude environment andon health maintenance. Throughout, the text avoids excessive jargonand technical language. "There is no doubt that this book provides an excellent basicunderstanding of the human body, its limitations, the psychologicalprocesses and how they interact with the aviation environment. I amcurrently studying for my ATPL Ground Exams and I found this bookto be an invaluable aid. It is equally useful for those studyingfor the PPL and for all pilots who would like to be reminded oftheir physiological and psychological limitations." –General Aviation, June 2002
