N2 - Preview and manual control modes using a 3-deimensional tunnel-predictor display are considered. For steady-state flight conditions, the command flight path presented in the tunnel-predictor display is an unchanging reference. The pilot effort is concerned with compensating for changes of this image. The predictor is a significant aid supporting the pilot in his control task because it provides a precise error indication. This particularly holds for curved flight. For transition segments form straight to curved flight and vice versa, there is a possibility of pursuit/preview control. Design issues for a tunnel display are presented with the objective to enable efficient pursuit system organization. Results from pilot-in-the-loop simulation experiments are presented for validation.
