A simulator study to determine the effect on pilot performance of electronically represented altitude and airspeed information on the primary flight display using moving tape formats is presented. The study used a seemingly random, unpredictable guidance task and focused on three areas relating to the representation of information on moving tape formats: tape centering, trend information, and tape orientation. Results suggest that moving tape displays with actual values centered is better than tapes with reference values centered and that high-to-low airspeed tape orientation is better than low-to-high orientation. With trend information absent, subjects devoted 50 percent more attention to the secondary task relative to display configurations with trend presented.
