| Abstract | Thirteen two-person crews flew SA CAT I approaches to KOKC runway 35R in a B-737-800 Level D flight simulator. Conditions were varied by: (1) display type – head-up display (HUD) w/o synthetic vision (SV), HUD w/SV, and head-down display (HDD) w/SV; (2) runway lighting – High-intensity runway lights (HIRL), HIRL plus runway centerline lights (RCL), HIRL plus RCL plus touchdown-zone lights (TDZ); (3) ambient illumination – day, night; and (4) combinations of decision height (DH) and runway visual range (RVR) – 100’/1200’, 150’/1400’. Results suggest that there were no performance differences between using a head-down and the head-up synthetic-vision displays that rose to the level of operational significance pilot preferences not withstanding. |
