Airbus interests in HUD • Intrinsic characteristics of the HUD “See through capability enabling the aircrew to fly the aircraft using collimated flying symbols overlaying the real world cues. ” • Potentiality offered by new HUD technology © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Wider field of view 4 LCD availability offering greater graphic capability/flexibility, and easier video integration HUD can be proposed as an option for all Airbus Fly-By-Wire aircraft January 2004 2

HUD and Airbus operational objectives • As a part of the Airbus continuous effort to enhance the flight safety, HUD is considered as a tool to the pilot situational awareness. 4 Increase approach stability (NPA or VMC). 4 Increase landing accuracy 4 Enable seamless IMC/VMC transition. 4 Provide a flexible platform for growth using new technologies such as EVS, SVS and SGS to enhance surface operation and obstacle awareness. © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Increase • HUD as a means to expand the operational capability of the aeroplane. 4 Lower visibility take-off minima (75 m instead of 125 m) 4 Lower approach minima on some dedicated runways. (CAT II approach minimum on type I airfield) January 2004 3

HUD and Airbus Cockpit philosophy • HUD is an additional tool into a cockpit built around: Fly-By-Wire systems with its full set of protections. 4 The AFS with double channel FG, providing CAT 3 B capability. 4 The EFIS PFD/ND providing all the information required to operate the A/C either in automatic or in manual flying. 4 The ECAM and FWS for A/C system monitoring. © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 The HUD is not a substitute but a complement to the existing avionics and need to be integrated. January 2004 4

HUD integration into the Airbus Cockpit • HUD will be fully integrated within this cockpit control interfaces. 4 Same display logic and formats. 4 Same computation sources. 4 HUD cautions / warnings integration in ECAM. © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Same HUD integration is one of the key factors to achieve the operational objectives with a high consistency and efficient use. The other one being the HUD design rules January 2004 5

Airbus’ HUD design guidelines • Conformity with the external world 4 Key Display Elements must be “conformal” and overlay the real world. 4“Trajectory based” symbols must be preferred. • See through capability “need to show data” must be displayed. 4 Declutter function, automatic/manual must be provided. 4 Symbol position and shape must be optimised. © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Only • Consistency with the existing avionics 4 Format and mechanization of the data provided Head-Up and Head Down must be consistent. 4 Same computation sources must be used. January 2004 6

Airbus’ HUD design guidelines (cont’d) • Intuitivity and ease of use conflicting symbols must not be displayed. 4“Analog presentation” must be preferred to “digital one”. 4 All data required for given task within a flight phase must be provided to prevent successive head-up/head down scanning. 4 The essential parameters used to control the aircraft in a given phase must be located close to each other to improve the scanning efficiency Integrity © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Potentially • Integrity 4 Erroneous data must be clearly flagged. 4 Symbols reaching the limit of the FOV must be unambiguously displayed. 4 HUD cautions and warning must be integrated in ECAM January 2004 7

© AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. Airbus HUD symbology :

HUD operational use • HUD will be mainly used during: © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. 4 Take off roll and rotation. 4 Rejected take off. 4 Initial climb out. 4 End of descent, initial and intermediate approaches. 4 Final approaches : precision, instrument and visual. 4 Landing roll, braking efficiency monitoring. 4 Go around. • HUD will be fully integrated in pilot training. 4 The FFS syllabi will include the use of HUD from the 1 st day. January 2004 17

Conclusion • HUD is proposed as a complementary equipment to existing avionics to enhance the flight safety. • HUD will be fully integrated into the existing cockpit to ensure high efficiency and efficient use. • Training will address HUD operation since day one. © AIRBUS S. All rights reserved. Confidential and proprietary document. • HUD is designed to support future technologies that will enhance surface operation and obstacle awareness. • Airbus is getting involved in those technologies and will set new standards to better respond to operational and safety pilot needs.
