Abstract: A set of experiments has been conducted to investigate the relative effect of translational and rotational motion cues on pilot performance. Two helicopter yaw control tasks were performed on the SIMONA Research Simulator; a yaw capture task, and a target tracking task with simulated turbulence. The yaw capture task was a repetition of a task performed previously by Schroeder and Grant at two different simulator facilities. Shaping filters and added delays were used to match simulator characteristics with the … Show more

“…An increase in visual lead time constant for higher refresh rates is not necessary as the controlled dynamics are constant in the experiment. Other simulated piloting tasks where performance is more dependent on the perception of visual motion -such as an autorotative descent and landing, 6 or a yaw capturing task in a helicopter 19 -could be more suitable to reveal a significant change in the pilot's ability to generate lead as refresh rate varies. However, the modeling of pilot control behavior is significantly more difficult for such tasks, as control behavior is more nonlinear.…”

“…In the experiment, a compensatory display is presented to participants using a head-up-display (HUD), overlaid on either a homogeneous black background or a realistic outside visual scene. The controlled element dynamics are a low-order of AH-64 Apache yaw dynamics, 3,14,22,23 which are known to require significant human operator lead equalization. A no motion feedback condition was tested, in addition to three different break frequency settings for a unity-gain high-pass yaw motion filter (0, 0.58, and 1.73 rad/s), resulting in 0 deg, 30 deg, and 60 deg phase distortion at 1 rad/s.…”
