Abstract
Novel guidance and control capabilities offered by predictive flightpath displays are considered. Due to preview information which is presented in a form allowing holistic perception, the pilot is provided with knowledge about the command flightpath and the predicted position of the aircraft in the future. Pursuit/preview control which is possible because of command flightpath knowledge enables the pilot to utilize the substantial advantages offered by this control mode. With the predictor which provides information about the future aircraft position, the pilot can exert compensatory control yielding best results in terms of performance and workload. Further issues concern system stability and bandwidth.
