DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF A BACKGROUND ATTITUDE INDICATOR
This paper describes a series of 3 studies conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a unique type of attitude indicator, called a background attitude indicator (BAI), to recover from unusual attitudes. The BAI is a head-down display format that combines tactical information in the central portion of the display with attitude information in the border surrounding the tactical information. Essentially, the attitude information frames the tactics display. Results of the 3 studies showed that BAIs in general are capable of portraying enough attitude data to enable pilots to recover from unusual attitudes. Specifically, BAIs being used for unusual attitude recovery tasks should contain continuous flow patterns that allow pilots to determine approximate attitude (pitch) quickly.
