This short report integrates the data that have been collected across three experiments in a high fidelity flight simulator in which traffic has been visible in the outside world, and visual scanning has been measured. The goal was to obtain data on the relation between visual attention allocation, traffic visibility, the automation guidance offered by a CDTI, and traffic detection performance. Large differences in such performance were observed, and attributed particularly to differences in traffic conspicuity, automation guidance, task priorities and pilots attention allocation strategies. The results are compared with commonly advocated guidance for outside scanning in pilot training manuals.
