Minimum Visual Information Requirements For Detect and Avoid in Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Ferne Friedman-Berg – Federal Aviation Administration Jonathan Rein – TG O’Brien Nicole Racine – TG O’Brien Researchers conducted a human-in-the-loop simulation to determine the minimum information required for a supplementary traffic display to effectively support Detect and Avoid (DAA) procedures. Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) pilots were asked to detect and avoid surrounding aircraft with the aid of a custom-built traffic information display with four configurations (
