The study deals with a proposed flight reference display for powered-lift STOL aircraft. The display design aims at providing pilots with new control cues for maintaining flight safety during low-speed high-power approach. The display utilizes angle of attack, pitch angle and airspeed to indicate the flight reference for maintaining the flight safety margins. Piloted simulation using a moving-base flight simulator was conducted to verify the display scheme. The parameters of the display equations were designed on the basis of the flight test achievements of 'ASKA', the experimental STOL aircraft of the National Aerospace Laboratory. This preliminary evaluation demonstrated that the display can be used for both flight reference tracking and safety margin monitoring, and provided appropriate values of coefficients of the display equations.
