Abstract

Based on pilots' scanning data and discussions with pilots, general aviation flight instruments have been classified into three categories. The classification is related to the type of information presented, the way the information is used, and the pilot's role as a monitor and controller. Suggestions are made for modifying the instruments of one category to improve the information displayed such that when monitoring, the pilot can more quickly extract the information needed.
