<title>Theoretical issues relevant to helmet-mounted display attitude symbology</title>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper discusses theoretical issues that are relevant to Helmet-Mounted Display (HMD) attitude direction indicator (ADI) design. An ADI shows the relationship between the aircraft wings and the horizon and pilots use it to determine aircraft attitude (pitch and roll). The ADI is used for maintaining an aircraft attitude, capturing a precise attitude and recovering from an unusual attitude. An attitude indicator is an essential instrument because it provides pilots with orientation information that they do not normally have in instrument flight conditions. Recent work suggests that humans orient themselves within a fixed world-reference frame. We will discuss the relationship between the reference frames used by the human orientation system, the reference frames implemented in existing ADIs, and the reference frames available in a helmet-mounted display. A head tracked HMD system allows a system designer to implement symbology in many reference frames including the head, aircraft, and world reference frames. Traditional head down attitude symbology may not be appropriate for HMD use, and it may conflict with the reference frame used by human orientation systems. Based on the author's review of ADIs and frames of reference, research topics are discussed that examine the role of HMD ADI symbology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
