TY - JOUR PY - 1982// TI - How a new instrument affects pilots' mental workload JO - Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomic Society annual meeting A1 - Harris, Randall L. A1 - Tole, John R.

Thomas SP - 1010 EP - 1013 VL - 26 IS - 11 N2 - Display evaluation has generally been performed using reaction time experiments or subjective evaluations to determine which display is better suited for a particular application. A new testing procedure combined with two analysis techniques of scanning behavior have been used to evaluate two alternative display designs in a realistic setting. Tests were conducted in the Langley Research Center's General Aviation Simulator. The results indicated that a new bargraph type of vertical speed indicator located between the attitude indicator and the altimeter is looked at more quickly, appears to lower cognitive workload slightly, and was preferred over a conventional vertical speed indicator.
