This report describes one of a series of studies being conducted to develop the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). The purpose of this study was to investigate display technology appropriate for the presentation of TCAS information on both conventional and advanced flight decks. The specific objectives of this study phase were to: (1) Evaluate the alerting effectiveness of candidate TCAS display concepts; (2) Determine the variability of including a caution level alert (TA) that would precede the warning (RA); (3) Identify minimum information requirement for the RA and TA; and (4) Select a TCAS display concept to be used in the operational simulation. In the tests, experienced transport pilots were presented TCAS alerts while flying a transport simulator. Their responses to the alerts were recorded as were their opinions about the system. Display characteristics are presented with a heavy reliance being put on the recommendation in 'Aircraft Alerting System Standardization Study'.
