“…DEM, also known as Digital Elevation Modeling, is a three-dimensional computer graphical representation of a terrain surface on a planet or other heavenly body [57]. Often it is used to create In context to this research, providing DEM data of the surrounding terrain to the pilot may significantly reduce the number of accidents involving CFIT as a large number of accidents happen due to the pilot's inability to compute the distance between the aircraft and the terrain.…”

<p>Throughout the world, more than 46% of the overall accidents occurring in the general aviation sector occur during the approach/landing phase of flight. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in 2018, more than 59% of these accidents occurred during the landing phase due to collision with terrain/or an object, power loss, and loss of control. This research focuses on reducing human-made errors by designing a new Primary Flight Display (PFD) symbology in an aircraft cockpit display using a Human Machine Interface (HMI) tool. The symbology is developed using Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA), which simplifies the overall process into various subtasks and builds algorithms to solve the problem. Ryerson Fixed Base Flight Simulator (FBFS) is used to deploy and test the effectiveness of the newly proposed symbology against existing primary flight displays (analog and digital). Finally, human factor evaluation techniques are used to understand the mental and physical workload experienced by pilots using all three displays. Results showed an almost 62% decrease in mental demand and a 53% decrease in physical demand while using the new display symbology.</p>

This paper presents a framework for a GPS/INS/vision-based helicopter navigation system. The conventional GPS/INS algorithm has weak points such as GPS blockage and jamming, while the helicopter is a speedy and highly dynamic vehicle that may easily lose a GPS signal. A vision sensor is not affected by signal jamming, and the navigation error of such a system does not accumulate. Hence, a GPS/INS/vision-aided navigation scheme was implemented to provide the robust localization suitable for helicopter operations in various environments. The core algorithm is the vision-based SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technique. Flight tests were performed to verify the SLAM-aided vision navigation algorithm. During the tests, it was confirmed that the developed system is sufficiently robust under GPS blockage conditions. The system design, software algorithm, and flight test results are described in this paper.

“…In addition, the pathway depicted in the display gives cues sufficient to navigate the aircraft to the runway. The analysis of these variables and theh applicability in synthetic vision primary flight displays is well documented in [ 1] [2][14]. The question now remains, what are the essential variables to accurately and quickly convey the state of the traffic information such that the pilot can ascertain whether the trait poses a threat?…”

Airports lose significant capacity during instnunent conditions. Several plans are afoot to expand the nations' airports to achieve sufficient runway spacing for independent IFR approaches. The projected cost of the ten largest projects in the United States is $8 -16 Billion. The ability to conduct Closely Spaced Parallel Approaches (CSPA) in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC) could reduce the requisite runway separation and significantly lower that national expense. In addition the environmental impact of airport capacity increases would be significantly reduced. This paper presents a synthetic vision display and ~ the supporting flight system to attempt to achieve this goal. The display presents the pilot with the information necessary to aviate, navigate and monitor traflic on the parallel approach. This paper also documents the first series of flight experiments to test the applicability of synthetic vision displays to CSPA Operations (Figure 1).
