Commercial pilots sitting before and looking at a television screen, on which were presented moving dots or bars simulating an approach to a visual landing system, were asked to discriminate between level flight or flight with change in altitude in the sense of a descent.

Changes in altitude were significantly better observed in the double patterns than in the single patterns. (Author)
