The present evaluation of a computer-generated perspective tunnel display for four-dimensional fixed wing aircraft landing approaches gives attention to the development and performance assessment of superimposed predictor symbology. Simulator tests indicate that a complex perspective vehicle symbol yields a decrease in bank angle activity, by comparison to a flat predictor cross, while yielding larger lateral and vertical deviations in most cases. The perspective vehicle symbol motions are successful in forward velocity control without affecting path-following performance. The perspective vehicle symbol's advantage over the flat predictor cross is nevertheless marginal. While the tunnel display used yields satisfactory response in the lateral control axis, the vertical axis lacks sensitivity to vertical path angle variations.
