| 内容記述 | Four line pilots performed simulator flights of 747s on different air routes in conditions of following other aircraft while maintaining a specified temporal flight interval separation. The flights were made in the heading-select mode of the autopilot, and the pitch wheel or altitude select/hold mode with the throttle on manual. A cockpit display of traffic information (CDTI) on a CRT was presented in front of the throttles. A VOR radial with dotted centerlines and sidebands representing 3 km intervals was displayed, along with scales of distance depending on altitude. Traffic information was updated every four seconds. Simulated flights began at cruise and followed a standard profile descent, and traffic following intervals of 60, 80, 120, and 140 seconds were presented in different trials. Results indicated that a CDTI was sufficient instrumentation for trailing other aircraft, with low error rates up to the point of landing preparations. |
