Head-up guidance systems: the foundation of situation awareness systems

This paper presents a review of the Flight Dynamics Head-Up Guidance System, a status on the progress towards certification of category IIIB approaches, take-off strategies, and accurate economic justification models. Head-up guidance is back in the spotlight. For various reasons, enhanced vision has a limited near-future. Yet airlines still want to operate in low visibility. The proven way is with head-up guidance. The status of current users and new users of head-up guidance systems are discussed. New uses for head-up guidance and fusion with other new sensors are also discussed
