| Summary: | A&M University, along with Knowledge Based Systems, Inc., aforementioned system goals of reduced pilot workload and are also cited, particularly pertaining to the user Aviation Pilot Advisory and Training System (GAPATS). GAPATS called a Multi-Function Display. The various display modes computing technology into general aviation aircraft. The developed that aid the dual goals of increasing pilot display that, in general, is embedded in the cockpit Function Display. Inadequacies of the Multi-Function Display have been designed with careful attention to the have joined together in a research program titled General In GAPATS, the head-down display operates in several display in the general aviation industry. Intelligent systems can be in turn, should lead to improved safety. increased situational awareness. This thesis provides a instrument panel. When viewing a head-down display, the interface. Finally, suggestions for future enhancements are Modem computing technology can be useful for improving safety modes spanning a wide range of functions. Thus, it is also pilot looks "down" into the cockpit, rather than up and out proposed. research is focused on integrating inexpensive, yet powerful, situational awareness and decreasing pilot workload, which, system architecture consists of several components, one of The Aerospace and Electrical Engineering Departments at Texas thorough overview of the design and development of the Multi- through the windshield, hence the term, "head-down" display. which is a head-down display. A head-down display is a |
