Description / Abstract:
The document focuses on perspective flight displays with or
without guidance and is intended for flight deck display
applications. Further, this document does not directly address the
presence or absence of background information, e.g., synthetic
and/or enhanced imagery. Such issues are addressed in a separate
E/SVS document. Since this document provides recommendations, the
guidance is provided in the form of "should" statements as opposed
to the "shall" statements that appear in standards and regulations.
When "shall" statements are used, the regulation or standard is
referenced (where applicable).
The purpose of this document is to set forth the recommendations
of SAE Committee G-10 Perspective Flight Display Subcommittee
relative to the requirements for design and implementation of
electronic perspective predictive flight display information
systems for use as a primary flight display, which may or may not
also use synthetic or enhanced imagery in its background. These
recommendations are intended to be intuitive and easily
interpretable to minimize confusion, distraction and fatigue,
thereby reducing crew workload and increasing crew performance,
efficiency, safety and reducing factors detrimental to flight
safety. In arriving at these recommendations the committee
carefully reviewed the layouts of modern commercial and military
aircraft, developmental tiltrotor flight deck/cockpit layouts, the
recommendations and requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration Aircraft and Rotorcraft Certification Branches, the
Avionics Branch, and the requirements of commercial operators and
aircraft/avionics original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). In cases
where conflicting opinions existed, suitable compromises were
made.
