Trajectory Recovery System: Angle of Attack Guidance for Inflight Loss of Control

This paper describes the design and development of an ecological display to aid pilots in the recovery of an In-Flight Loss of Control event due to a Stall (ILOC-S). The Trajectory Recovery System (TRS) provides a stimulus \( \to \) response interaction between the pilot and the primary flight display. This display is intended to provide directly perceivable and actionable information of the aerodynamic performance state information and the requisite recovery guidance representation. In an effort to reduce cognitive tunneling, TRS mediates the interaction between pilot and aircraft display systems by deploying cognitive countermeasures that remove display representations unnecessary to the recovery task. Reported here, are the development and initial human centered design activities of a functional and integrated TRS display in a 737 flight-training device.
