In Experiment 1, 12 pilots flew a high-fidelity flight simulator with a cockpit display of traffic information and maneuvered to avoid traffic in a simulated free-flight environment. Pilots' choices reflected a preference to make vertical rather than lateral avoidance maneuvers and to climb rather than descend. Pilots avoided both complex maneuvers and airspeed maneuvers. The data were modeled in terms of how pilots traded off factors related to safety, efficiency, mental effort, and prior habits. In Experiment 2, 10 pilots flew the same maneuvers as the pilots in Experiment 1 but followed ATC instructions rather than using the CDTI. The CDTI in Experiment 1 occupied 25% of the pilots' visual attention. A comparison of scanning with Experiment 2 suggested that the CDTI pulled visual attention away from the outside world, but this attention diversion did not leave pilots vulnerable to missing traffic not annunciated on the CDTI. Actual or potential applications of the results include understanding the safety implications of presenting traffic displays in the cockpit, and the impact of pilot maneuver preferences on airspace procedures. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1518\/0018720024497943","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,7,20]],"date-time":"2005-07-20T12:03:03Z","timestamp":1121860983000},"page":"171-188","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Pilot Maneuver Choice and Workload in Free Flight"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Christopher D.","family":"Wickens","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of illinois, Savoy"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Hellenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of illinois, Savoy"}]},{"given":"Xidong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of illinois, Savoy"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","volume-title":"Factors in collision avoidance response: Pilots and nonpilots","author":"Beringer, D.
