The Pictorial Format Study (Volume I) includes the development of displays for six primary fighter crew stations functions (e.g., primary flight, tactical situation, stores management, systems status, engine status, and emergency procedures). The study focused on information that the pilot really needs. Possible changes in cockpit requirements reflecting future aircraft systems and performance were examined. Pictorial Formats were generated in monochrome stroke, color stroke and color raster. The color raster formats are the most aesthetically pleasing. The study indicates that pictorial formats should include limited use of alpha-numeric characters to add to the precision that certain situations/systems require. The use of color was found to enhance information transfer in situations where the pilot must distinguish between classes of stimuli. (Author)
