  • Abstract
    A study was conducted that examined areas of a cockpit display of traffic (CDTI) committed to memory during a task that required monitoring of aircraft separation. The data showed that pilots tended to recall aircraft primarily as a function of spatial range and bearing, and not as a function of temporal range
