In modern cockpits most of the information is provided to the pilot visually. This information is typically presented head-down on multiple displays. The advantage of these glass cockpits tends to be impaired by constantly increasing the amount of information presented. Especially during landing however pilots need to maintain a good spatial awareness from visual references in the vicinity of the aircraft. Therefore, the pilot has to deal with multiple concurrent tasks all with dominant impact on the pilot's visual perception. With the limited human visual perception also the cognitive ability of humans might be reached [1, 2]. This introduces new operational burdens and failure modes to the overall human-machine system [3, 4]. To avoid impacts on safety a remarkable step forward would be firstly to reduce the demand on visual perception that would provide additional spare mental capacity to safely monitor and control the aircraft even under high workload phases or system failure conditions. Secondly, to find a way to maintain or even enhance the information flow at the same time.
