A pilot's scan moves between five instruments taking 0.4 seconds each. One complete scan takes

  • A.1.2 seconds
  • B.2.0 seconds
  • C.0.4 seconds
  • D.5.0 seconds

Answer: B

Correct answer: 2.0 seconds

Multiply the dwell time by the number of instruments:

\[ 5 \times 0.4 = 2.0\ \mathrm{seconds} \]

A two second cycle means any one parameter is unobserved for nearly two seconds at a time, which is the human factors argument behind the basic T layout and behind integrated displays generally: placing related information close together shortens the scan, and combining several parameters into one picture - the flight path vector, for instance - removes items from the loop altogether.
