August 29, 201411 yr Anyone know what those barberpole type displays are at 5:58 onwards? Never seen that before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMydKAcqKCg#t=358
August 29, 201411 yr Those are PVDs, or ParaVisual Displays. The idea is that you don't 'read' them by looking at them directly but that youkeep them in your periferal vision so that you stay aware of it's movement. In the video you can see that they turn on at touchdown and start moving when the aircraft turns off the runway centerline. In good visibility the pilot can keep the aircraft on the runway centerline by observing the runway with his periferal vision (just like you keep a car on the road by looking ahead). In a low visibility situation like in the video he cannot view the runway and the PVD will act as a substitute. Go to page 182.
August 30, 201411 yr If you watch the entire video you will notice the first officer flying until about 1,000'. At that point the Captain takes over. Almost always Cat III's are Captains Landings. Thanks, Ron Fields

Okay, evidently the link didn't work yesterday, as all saw was a wall of Chinese ideographs... Today, I got the PFD document. Fr.
