An evaluation of the visual effect of image tilt of a refractive lens display system is presented. The system was used to present a rudimentary computer generated out the window scene to the pilot of a flight simulator during approach, flare, and touchdown. Comparisons are made of sink rate at touchdown and performances for untilted and tilted displays. Sixty four landings with each condition for a total of 128 touchdowns were made by 3 subjects. Performance measures, such as the flare and touchdown footprints, were recorded and analyzed. The visual effect of the image tilt was investigated for a terrain model board scene.
