Abstract: A s e r i e s of studies w e r e conducted at Autonetics, NAA covering the utility of the p r e d i c t o r display in: (1) manual control of altitude and (2) in monitoring the performance of a n automatic flight control s y s t e m i n the pitch axis.The effect of prediction time ahead of the a i r c r a f t i n the pitch axis was examined by analytical and simulation study.Results a r e p r e s e n t e d indicating that while the p r e d i c t o r display is an effective m e a n s f o r monitoring AFCS flight and f o r manual flight control i n the pitch axis, the mechanization complexity is a formidable b a r r i e r to p r a c t i c a l realization of the concept, An alternate synthetic prediction s y s t e m is discussed.
