Abstract

An experimental study examined cockpit displays of traffic information for pilot self-spacing in congested airspace. Results demonstrate that pilots have the capability to benefit from additional traffic information and take over some additional control responsibility. Additionally, this experiment shows that pilots benefit from the presentation of velocity and closure rate, and from range spacing arcs.
