Abstract :
A demonstration/evaluation was conducted in November 1989 using operationally qualified B-1B aircraft pilots to determine if any pilot performance differences existed between current and proposed B-1B flight director computer/monitor (FDC/M) control laws during precision approaches using the instrument landing system (ILS). The data (objective and subjective) indicate that the proposed FDC model would be an improvement over the B-1B FDC model
