[JYO] Current IFR Pilots needed for New Display Evaluation...

Ed -

Research Triangle Institute is conducting a NASA experiment that 
requires quite a few Instrument Current pilots.  Please post the 
attached flyer where the pilots that use the airport can see it and 
hopefully participate in the experiment.  The attached file has all of 
the pertinent information.

Thanks,

Instrument – Current Pilots Needed
For Evaluation of New Displays
Pilots Receive a $50 Stipend for Participation

Beginning February 2004 through April 16, 2004, RTI International will 
conduct an experiment to evaluate the use of new display concepts in a 
general aviation cockpit.  The results will help produce procedures and 
guidelines for the design and use of such display concepts.  The 
experiment will replicate a typical general aviation flight in a 
simulator that has flight characteristics similar to a Piper Malibu.

The pilot requirements for this experiment is that you must be an 
instrument rated pilot and current per the Code of Federal Regulations. 
  We look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible to schedule 
your session.  During the time of your session, you will be asked to 
fill out a pilot knowledge questionnaire and then you will be briefed 
and trained on the operation of the simulator and experimental display 
system.  Once training is complete, you will be given information 
required for you to plan a flight from a specific airport location to 
another location according to instrument flight plan procedures.  You 
will then be connected to a heart rate monitor in order to measure heart 
rate variability.  This measurement will allow us to objectively 
determine workload during the experiment.  You will then fly the planned 
route in the simulator.  After completion of the flight, you will be 
asked to fill out a questionnaire to get your immediate reaction to the 
display system.  You will also be interviewed following a strict 
structured interview procedure.  Your performance, heart rate 
information, and responses to the questions will be held in strict 
confidence.

Once you have scheduled your participation, an e-mail confirming your 
appointment and providing driving directions will be forwarded to you.
