Electro-mechanical (E-M) instruments, which have been associated with aircraft cockpits since World War I, are rapidly being replaced by electro- optical instruments in both military and civilian aircraft. As the conversion continues, questions arise as to the impact of these displays on the pilot's efficiency. One of the most important issues of the modern cockpit centers around the pilot-computer interface - that is, are the display's graphic formats, which have replaced the tried and true E-M instruments, intuitive. This paper describes three new ways to present flight information to the pilot on head down and head up displays and discusses research results geared toward answering this question.
