Abstract: In order to evaluate the performance of pilots using HUD and PFD to detect runway incursion under approach and landing circumstances, a visual simulation system for transport category airplanes is designed by visual simulation technology. The system includes models of head up display (HUD), primary flight display (PFD), cockpit of transport category airplanes, 3-D terrain of airport. And a program is written to read flight joystick data to control flight. On this visual simulation system, performance experiment of pilots using HUD and PFD to detect runway incursion is carried out. Analysis results show that the response time of pilots using HUD to detect runway incursion lags 5.06s and miss rate outnumbers 13 percent compared with PFD. On attention allocation, pilots paid much attention to area of interest: heading and pitch-horizon detector-outside window with using HUD; when using PFD, attention is allocated to area of interest: pitch- horizon detector and outside the window.
