| Abstract | The study explores the effects of peripheral vision cues on the performance of a 20 ATR pilots during simulated instrument landing approaches in a Boeing 720 jet aircraft simulator. Recoveries from unusal attitudes were also investigated. Results of the study suggest that peripheral vision cues (1) improve control of bank angle during instrument approaches; (2) may be safely substituted in an emergency for a failed attitude indicator; and (3) result in significantly less time being required for recovery from unusual attitudes. Significantly, no reversals were observed during recoveries utilizing peripheral vision cues. |
