The tasks comprised the detection of excessive longitudinal and lateral windshears, and of system failures on the glideslope and localizer indicators. Two failure probability conditions were included to investigate the effect of the subject's failure expectancy on the detection performance. Good agreement between the model predictions and the experimental results of two subjects is obtained. The failure detection times of the two other subjects are larger, especially for the windshear conditions, due to a more conservative detection strategy. Results indicate the usefulness of an analytical capability for investigating relative effects of aircraft design parameters, such as display integrity, configuration, and format on failure detection performance. 收起
