abstract="The purpose of this study was to evaluate the learning curve associated with complex flight behavior (i.e. instrument approaches) for both conventional and SVS display systems. Thirty student pilots who had not yet earned their private pilot license were presented with minimal information about instrument approaches and were trained to fly a precision approach using either the SVS or conventional display. Flight performance, measured by time within the FAA ATP standard across training trials, was significantly higher in the SVS condition for the first trial and during the three performance trials. Log function learning curves show faster learning in the SVS condition than the conventional condition. Differences in learning curves have implications for the development of training curricula, certification guidelines, and training/operations costs.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
