Head-Up Display in a Boeing 737 By Carson Gillespie

General Overview The Head-Up Display (HUD) system uses information from the sensors aboard the aircraft (Pitotstatic, gyroscopic, navigation) and display flight information on a transparent glass screen in front of the Pilot.

The flight symbols overlay and combine with the outside view through the captain’s window to assist in low visibility take off conditions and Category III Approach and landing operations.

Models of HUD systems 2350 4000

• The older 2350 model is characterized by a square glass display and a 3 light annunciator panel. • The 4000 model has a round display, with a digital display and is found in most next generation airplanes.

The different displays are similar in many ways. They both display altitude and speed tapes, attitude and heading information, and vertical deviation scales. Other information available for display are wind shear warning and TCAS advisories.

Other Features Not Available on PFD • Flight Path Acceleration Symbol and the speed error tape provide the pilot a reference for autothrottle system calculations. • Performance Trend Information such as: • Speed Trend Vector: Predicts what airspeed the aircraft will be in the next 10 seconds due to current speed and acceleration. • Altitude Trend Vector: Predicts altitude in the next 6 seconds based on the aircraft’s current vertical speed.
