Abstract
This paper focuses on an investigation into the operational safety aspects of advanced Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS), conducted under contract to the Netherlands Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The TAWS depicts graphical terrain information on a Navigation Display (ND) and provides predictive terrain collision alerting. Initially, several ND terrain format displays were evaluated in an exploratory workstation study. The most preferred display format was adopted for follow-up evaluations in a piloted simulation program. The objective of phase two was to evaluate the independent effects of terrain awareness information and predictive terrain alerting. The NLR Research Flight Simulator employing the Fokker 100 model served as the test facility. Ten evaluation crews flew fourteen scenarios each, primarily in terrain-rich environments.
