A typical AI display is "inside out", ie the view is from inside the plane
looking out. Some (Russian) aircraft use the reverse display, ie a fixed
horizon and a moving airplane graphic. Does anyone know of work done to
measure the human factors benefits / penalties of these two approaches?

Exactly this problem was one of the causes of the Crossair flight LX498
crash in Zurich on January 10th, 2000. It was a Saab 340 aircraft. The pilot
was moldavian and had lots of experience in russian airplanes with "reverse
AIs". By the way, russian planes partially also have reverse gyros.

For those who are interested, the investigation report (PDF) can be found
at:

There's a discussion about the reverse AI at 1.16.5.1.1 (pages 59-62) and at
Annex 7 (page 134).

Besides that, it's really an interesting report, and if you want to invest a
couple of hours, read it.
