Aircraft which utilize computers will require the use of multifunction displays and keyboards (MFK). Eight arrangements of formats which present flight control, navigation, and status information were examined. All were found useable but arrangements in which attitude information was placed above navigation information and those utilizing electro-optical devices rather than conventional flight instruments were slightly better. Two types of MFK logic were also examined. MFK operation was more efficient with Tailored Logic (frequently used functions presented) than with Branching Logic (functions presented by systems).
