Nextgen Flight Deck Human Factors Issues

Culture and Flight Deck Operations

Culture is widely believed to play an important role in the international aviation system. Given the many factors, including the infrastructure of aviation, that affect aviation safety, the role of culture remains uncertain. It is accepted that culture must exert some influence on the patterns of behavior enacted by flight crews on the flight deck, but different views of culture produce differe...

Enhanced Audio for NextGen Flight Decks

Implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) will require shifting more roles to the flight deck. The proposed tools and displays for facilitating these added tasks primarily deliver information through visual means. This saturates an already loaded channel while perhaps underutilizing the auditory modality. This paper describes audio enhancements we have developed ...

On the Design of Flight-Deck Procedures

Human Factors Engineering and Flight Deck

This chapter briefly describes Human Factors Engineering and considerations for civil aircraft flight deck design. The motivation for providing the emphasis on the Human Factor is that the operation of future aviation systems will continue to rely on humans in the system for effective, efficient, and safe operation. Pilots, mechanics, air traffic service personnel, designers, dispatchers, and m...
