The study of the Visual Landing Aid (VLA), a head-up display of flight path angle and flight path, was conducted to determine whether the device was of assistance to the pilot in intercepting and maintaining a desired approach angle for visual approaches in the T-38 aircraft. This was the initial investigation of this particular display concept in a high performance aircraft. Sixty VFR approaches were flown by experienced T-38 pilots using three approach conditions: (1) unaided manual; (2) displacement mode, in which the display indicated the flight path being flown; and (3) director mode, in which the display directed the pilot to the preselected flight path. The unaided manual condition provided base line data for comparison purposes. (Modified author abstract)
