Effect of predictive and reactive flying on pilot performance for segmented approaches

This paper addresses the affect of the reactive nature of flying with conventional cockpit instruments on the accuracy and pilot workload when flying an airplane over a segmented approach to landing. Whether flying with conventional instrumentation or with a predictive instrumentation system such as highway-in-the-sky, the pilot´s job is simplified if the approach is a single straight-in segment such as found on an ILS.
