“…The concept of utilizing the peripheral visual system as an input source for critical flight information has received limited attention. However, past research has led to the development of several different aircraft displays targeted at using this channel (Assenhein, 1983;Brown, 1961;Ener, 1974;Fenwick, 1963;Knots and Gawron, 1984;Malcolm, 1984;Malcolm, Money and Anderson, no date;McNaughton, 1983;Nims, 1983;Scwank, Bermudez, Smith and Harris, 1978;Vallerie, 1968;Reprint from Aerospace, 1982;Garrett, 1984). Only two of these displays have been made commercially available; i.e., the Peripheral Command Indicator (PCI) and the Peripheral Vision Horizon Display (PVHD).…”

The complexity of modern aircraft systems places substantial information processing loads on the pilot. These loads are exacerbated during periods of cognitive and emotional stress such as during emergency landing situations. Physiological, and behavioral evidence for two human visual systems that may differ in susceptibility to psychological stress suggests the possibility of a natural stress resistant information channel that could be used to input information during stressful flight situations. It follows that the extreme peripheral visual fields could be a possible location for adjunct visual displays that serve to orient expeditiously the pilot's focal vision and attention to critical instrument displays during emergencies or other situations.

Twenty-eight United States Air Force Academy cadets were trained in a GAT-1 flight simulator under one of four experimental groups. The groups were defined first by having heading information either provided by the normal heading indicator or by peripheral lights and second by their being trained on either a 5° or a 10° heading deviation criterion. All cadets were subjected to four levels of a secondary cognitive task plus a control condition. There were no significant differences for either the main effect of heading indicator type or criterion level of training. The main effect of cognitive task difficulty level was significant for most measures. In addition, the heading indicator type by training criterion level interaction produced significant differences. Each significant interaction accounted for an average of 19% of the total variance. The study seems to indicate that training criteria are important independent variables in complex psychomotor/cognitive flight simulator tasks.
