Despite technological advances in aircraft engineering and information technology nothing has changed in that regard. On the contrary research is being undertaken to transfer even more flight-relevant information from the aural into the visual realm. With the introduction of fly-by-wire technology even residual mechanical input is slipping away neither stick pressure nor power setting changes are noticeable by feel or hearing when the Flight Management System FMS activates its programmed settings whereas a glance at the primary FMS display provides the pilot with decisive information regarding the functional conditions and flight profile of the Developments in recreational flying are heading in the same direction with display panels becoming similar to those of corporate aircraft. Even high performance airplanes although not flown by an FMS nonetheless have relatively large instruments displays that are not only designed for navigational purposes but are also linked to flight data recorder information. The pilot can only utilize the displayed information if he can discern the information precisely. Corresponding author.

Draeger This chapter does not deal with the cognitive side of signal processing but rather with the optical. The eyes produce an unambiguous signal image which is transmitted to the optical cortex for interpretation and reaction. As in all of our sensory systems a certain stimulus size must be exceeded in order to be perceived. In physiology this is termed threshold. This does not necessarily have to do with energy levels such as the quantum amount required to sense light but .
