Thirty-six Air Force pilots having current flying status flew a series of missions to compare pilot performance on three altimeters: AAU-19, 3-inch tape, and digital readout. Using a C-135B simulator, each subject flew a series of missions simulating actual procedures used in take-off, flight, and landing maneuvers. The subjects were task-loaded to prevent over concentration on altitude performance. Performance data were based on the pilot's ability to maintain altitudes specified by the ground control operator during various mission phases. From evaluation of the performance data, it was concluded that within the experimental test envelope with optimal flying conditions and high task loading the digital readout was superior to the other two instruments tested; however, the AAU-19 and 3-inch tape were within acceptable limits.
