Book excerpt: This report covers Phase II of a study conducted for the FAA to develop flight status monitor (FSM) concepts. Previous studies of crew alerting systems suggested the concept of a system which could monitor a flight, alert the crew to non-normal operation and system conditions, guide the crew through the appropriate response procedures and provide feedback to the crew concerning their actions. Major Phase II activities include: (1) Using the results of Phase I to refine the FSM system specifications. (2) Finalizing the implementations of the FSM simulator hardware and software. (3) Conducting evaluations of the system with experienced transport pilots. (4) Drawing conclusions and working recommendations concerning an FSM system by using the data developed in the evaluation and identifying issues which need further investigation. Keywords: Caution and warning; Warning systems; Flight status monitor; Human factors; Voice Control; Touch Panel.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study, the fourth in a series having evolved from a study of independent altitude monitor requirements and alerting system criteria, has developed a set of substantiated guidelines for the design of aircraft alerting systems. In the course of this work, the FAA concluded that a system which went beyond the function of an alerting system might be useful. The study was extended to examine the question as to whether a system could function as a monitor of flight safety, a system that could aid the pilots in resolving problems and contribute to reducing the number of future accidents. The study established the feasibility of the concept of complementing the alerting system with a computer to perform the flight phase status monitor function. (Author).

This book was released on 1998-02-09 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automation in air traffic control may increase efficiency, but it also raises questions about adequate human control over automated systems. Following on the panel's first volume on air traffic control automation, Flight to the Future (NRC, 1997), this book focuses on the interaction of pilots and air traffic controllers, with a growing network of automated functions in the airspace system. The panel offers recommendations for development of human-centered automation, addressing key areas such as providing levels of automation that are appropriate to levels of risk, examining procedures for recovery from emergencies, free flight versus ground-based authority, and more. The book explores ways in which technology can build on human strengths and compensate for human vulnerabilities, minimizing both mistrust of automation and complacency about its abilities. The panel presents an overview of emerging technologies and trends toward automation within the national airspace system--in areas such as global positioning and other aspects of surveillance, flight information provided to pilots an controllers, collision avoidance, strategic long-term planning, and systems for training and maintenance. The book examines how to achieve better integration of research and development, including the importance of user involvement in air traffic control. It also discusses how to harmonize the wide range of functions in the national airspace system, with a detailed review of the free flight initiative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a flight, pilots must rigorously monitor specific flight instruments (e.g., attitude indicator, airspeed, altimeter, engine parameters) as well as the external environment (e.g., locate terrain features on the ground, especially in clear weather conditions by low altitude) to update their situational awareness. This monitoring activity, which is critical during dynamic flight phases (e.g., takeoff, approach phase, and landing), consist in observing and interpreting the flight path, the selected automation modes, and the systems used onboard. This involves a real-time comparison between the data displayed on the instruments and the values expected during the flight phases. Appropriate monitoring of the cockpit enables to take corrective measures (e.g., adjust the aircraft's trajectory when a deviation is detected in the attitude zone) promptly when a parameter is deviated, thus guaranteeing an optimal level of safety. This monitoring activity is structured in a sequence of engagement and redirection of the operator's visual attention from one instrument to another. Moreover, accident reports have shown that piloting errors, such as incorrect trajectories or overspeed during landing, are often the result of inadequate monitoring of cockpit instruments. The purpose of this research work is to improve the flight safety thanks in particular to the integration of an eye-tracker. Eye movements are a window on the pilot's cognitive state and reveal the attentional paths taken by the operator through his visual path. In connection with cockpit monitoring issues, we have developed a Flight Eye Tracking Assistant (FETA) based on expert visual behaviors (e.g., 24 pilots with more than 1600 flight hours). This assistant warns the pilots, thanks to an audible alarm, when they no longer sufficiently consult a flight instrument in comparison with the expert eye movement database. A human factors evaluation of this assistant raised several issues with such an assistant and paved the way for further research including metrics that best reflect the eye paths in the cockpit and the need to find the right metric to quantify a pilot's visual attention onboard. Part of this research work is based on a comparison between novices and experts in order to quantify the mark of expertise. A method using the K coefficient applied to the AOIs allowed to qualify the visual attention of the pilots (focal vs ambient) during a flight simulator scenario with different loads of visuomotor activity. Machine learning methods based on transition matrices allowed to classify the expertise with an accuracy of 91%. Finally, two methods were used to qualify and quantify visual strategies in the cockpit. A method using Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC), a data compression algorithm, to highlight the complexity of the scanning sequences in the cockpit. Another called N-gram method, originally derived from DNA sequence research, which quantifies the patterns common to the expert group and the length of the patterns used. These contributions are discussed in the light of the improvement of a flying assistant based on eye tracking data for improving learning on the one hand and avoiding monitoring problems on the other. Finally, the evaluation of the FETA prototype raised perspectives on the choice of the most relevant modality (e.g. auditory, visual, haptic) for alerting.
