A flight experiment was conducted to assess human factors issues
associated with pilot use of traffic displays for approach spacing.
Sixteen multi-engine rated pilots participated. Eight flew
approaches in a twin-engine Piper Aztec originating in Sanford, ME,
and eight flew approaches in the same aircraft originating in
Atlantic City, NJ. The spacing target was a Cessna 206. The traffic
display was either a Garmin International MX-20 (the "Basic"
Cockpit Display of Traffic Information, or CDTI) or an MX-20
modified with features to help the pilot monitor the closing rate,
the range and ground speed of the traffic-to-follow, and ownship
ground speed (Range Monitor). Two other Equipment conditions were
Baseline and Autopilot. Pilots successfully used the displays to
maintain the assigned spacing on visual and instrument approaches.
