In the preparation of an evaluation program for several pictorial navigation displays, developed under sponsorship of the Air Navigation Development Board, it was necessary to make a study of possible operational advantages of the use of such displays. When compared to conventional symbolic instrumentation for displaying navigation information, the pictorial displays appear to have three primary advantages: 1) Continuous usable navigation information is supplied to the pilot in all airspace within range of the ground radio facilities. 2) Navigation workload on the flight crew is materially reduced. 3) A reduction in number of ground radio aids should be possible if most aircraft were equipped with pictorial navigation displays. Brief description of several pictorial computers is included.
