Abstract

Verbatim from NASA NTRS. Not paraphrased, not summarized.

Information transfer issues associated with the dissemination of wind shear alerts from the ground are studied. The two issues specifically addressed are the effectiveness of different cockpit presentations of ground-measured information and the assessment of the wind shear hazard from ground-based measurements. A pilot survey has produced an information base for study of crew-centered wind shear alert design. A part-task Boeing 767 'glass cockpit' simulation has provided useful data about modes of cockpit information presentation for both wind shear alert and ATC clearance delivery. Graphical map displays are observed to be exceptionally efficient for presentation of position-critical alerts, while some problems with text displays are identified. Problems associated with hazard assessment of ground-measured wind shear information are also identified.
