Cognitive requirements for aircraft navigation
… presents a cognitive analysis of a pilot's navigation task, and using this foundation, describes an experiment comparing a new map display, employing the principal of visual momentum, to the two traditional track-up and north-up approaches. The visual momentum display is based on the …

A comparison of methods for promoting geographic knowledge in simulated aircraft navigation
Geographic disorientation is a potentially dangerous problem for all types of pilots under all types of flight conditions. The problem is even more serious for helicopter pilots who often fly at low altitudes and who must be precisely aware of their location with respect to obstructions in their …

Increasing Flexibility in the Design and Operation of Instrument Flight Procedures
Instrument Flight Procedures determine aircraft departure and arrival trajectories in terminal airspaces. While their main objective is to ensure safe aircraft navigation, flight procedures also have a significant effect on the capacity, efficiency, access, and noise characteristics of airspaces by …
