“…This limits any image to a strictly 2D representation of a 3D world. In an attempt to address this issue, a stereoscopic HUD has been developed and integrated into a fixed‐base flight simulator (Kaiser et al , 2001). This offers a number of claimed advantages such as:improved perception of information in the outside view;a decluttered display as information is spatially separated so is less likely to merge;flight‐path, terrain and obstacles can be seen in their spatial position; andnew 3D symbology can be introduced to enhance spatial awareness and motion perception.A third class of “novel” display technologies has also been experimented with over the years (Still and Temme, 2001).…”

PurposeTo provide a progress report into research conducted to establish guidelines for the development of guidance vision aids.Design/methodology/approachThe first stage of the research is to establish a coherent engineering basis for the methods of (visual) motion perception and control to inform the design of pilot aids that will support flight in degraded visual conditions, particularly when close to the ground. The next stage will then be to construct and evaluate synthetic displays that recover the visual cues necessary to allow flight in degraded visual conditions for a range of manoeuvres using the flight simulation facilities at the University of Liverpool (UoL). The research is guided by tau (time to contact) theory from the field of ecological psychology.FindingsThe closure of spatial gaps for a number of aircraft manoeuvres are presented in the tau domain. Analysis of the landing flare manoeuvre suggest that both a constant rate of change of tau strategy and an intrinsic tau‐guidance strategy will yield benefits in terms of touchdown descent rate if presented as display symbology.Research limitations/implicationsResults are presented from trials where only one professional pilot was used. Results from a wider population of pilots need to be analysed to ensure that the observed trends are generic.Practical implicationsThe reported results are being used in the next phase of the research project to inform the design of a guidance vision‐aid for the flare manoeuvre. These displays will be tested in flight simulation trials.Originality/valueThe research takes a theory of motion perception and applies it to aircraft guidance display technology.
