Electrical circuitry was developed to utilize voltage signals from a Link general aviation trainer (GAT-1) to drive a visual display system simulating the changing geometry of the outline of a runway as seen by a pilot while landing. The resulting landing simulator is to be used as part of a study of pilot training techniques. The circuitry was based on a series of geometric equations previously developed for such a visual display. The GAT-1 voltage signals represented the aircraft's altitude, range from the end of the runway, and right-left angular deviation from the extended runway centerline. The outputs of the circuitry were used to drive a mechanical shutter system that, together with a simple overhead projector, generated the images of the four edges of the runway. The projected runway image was found to agree with that calculated from the geometric equations to within four percent. (Author)
