An electronic paravisual indicator presenting a checkerboard pattern moving in two axes in a head-down display was evaluated in a moving cock-pit flight simulator. The experiment was directed towards the effects of the indicator on piloting accuracy and pilot workload in manually controlled ILS and flight director approaches. In the overall assessment, based on objective performance criteria and subjective pilot ratings, the statistical evaluation of the objective test data showed no significant influence of the indicator on the performance criteria whereas the pilot ratings suggest that the indicator may be useful for manual control of the lateral motion of an aircraft.
