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.

Cockpit Displays is an in-depth examination of the design rationales, test philosophy and test procedures for cockpit systems. Whilst its main emphasis is on cockpit displays, it also includes an important discussion of flight management systems and mission computers. Areas covered include: the cockpit design process, test techniques for flight displays and equipment, and situation awareness testing. Comparing civil and military requirements, it is an important analysis of the lessons learned from test and evaluation and will be of interest to cockpit systems design engineering staff at major airframe manufacturers, procurement executives and program managers at military aircraft program offices and flight test engineers and test pilots.

This report documents selected activities and results associated with the installation, validation, and flight evaluation of an FAA-owned Head-Up Display (HUD) research system as installed in a Boeing 727-100 FAA aircraft. Requisite installation, boresight, and flight validation activities, along with results obtained from a combined flight experience/flight evaluation exercise employing government pilots are presented. Pilot comments addressing HUD system performance, display symbology, control low responses, hardware implementation, and operational modes are addressed. The HUD, a one-of-a-kind flightpath oriented research HUD, was evaluated in both an inertial (INS) referenced mode and an airmass (AM) referenced mode. Overwhelmingly, there was a strong preference for the INS referenced HUD mode. (Author).
