A decoupled, fly-by-wire control system combined with a pictorial head-up display has been developed and evaluated on a piloted simulator. The test subjects used in the evaluation were primarily non-pilots who were given no training or practice before the data runs. Despite their lack of experience and training, all of the test subjects were able to complete a complex piloting task on their very first run. The piloting task was performed in reduced visibility conditions and consisted of a continuous series of common maneuvers beginning with a takeoff and ending with a landing. Severe upsets from turbulence and emergency situations such as engine failure were not simulated. Quantitative qualitative data are presented to illustrate the large improvements in subject performance when using the advanced controls and displays compared to the conventional ones.
