Crew interfaces for future ATM

Two flight simulator evaluations were conducted at NLR with a four degrees of freedom moving base simulator. A navigation display (ND) and primary flight display (PFD) for application in a future ATM environment were evaluated. In total 22 airline pilots participated. Conclusion is that flight execution by using a perspective PFD resulted in more accurate flight performance, faster recovery after the occurrence of an aircraft failure and less visual workload. Interactive graphical user interfaces for flight planning and monitoring based on the ND are well accepted by pilots
