ABSTRACT:
An aircraft display combines speed error tapes and multiple speed reference bugs to produce a display which reduces pilot workload. The length of the speed error tape is indicative of the difference between a current aircraft speed and a reference speed. Multiple reference bugs are adjacent to the error tape and are indicative of the difference between the current aircraft speed and other selected reference speeds. The reference bugs move along the error tape thereby communicating the status of the current aircraft speed relative to the multiple reference speeds. The display reduces the need for the pilot to scan and analyze numerous instruments for the same information.
