Two Perspectives of an Autoflight System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two preliminary studies explored differences in language and style between the design perspective and the operational perspective of autoflight systems. In the first study, responses of an expert pilot and an expert engineer to a set of incident reports involving an autoflight system were compared. In the second study, chapters describing an autoflight system in the system manufacturer's manual and a carrier's manual were compared. The qualitative differences found in the first study and the quantitative differences found in the second study suggest that some difficulties pilots experience when operating autoflight systems could be attributed to training materials which present the system in engineers' language and style rather than those of the pilots.

A New Autoflight/FMS Interface: Guiding Design Principles
Human factors and flight operations experts have been studying crew performance issues with commercial transport autoflight and FMS interfaces for more than 20 years. A group at Boeing, in response to this work, has developed a new autoflight/FMS mode set and new interface design. In this paper, we discuss the drivers for the project, our method for generating autoflight modes, and design princ...
متن کاملCan We Automate Compliance to Collision Avoidance Resolution Advisories?
The Traffic alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) was designed to prevent mid-air collisions by portraying a time-critical “resolution advisory” (RA) to the pilot. Complying with a TCAS RA is generally considered the safest course of action and takes priority over all other forms of air traffic management; however, pilot compliance with TCAS RAs is surprisingly low. One proposed solution ...

In this study, we offer a general view at the area of fuzzy modeling and fuzzymodels, identify the visible development phases and elaborate on a new and promisingdirections of system modeling by introducing a concept of granular models. Granularmodels, especially granular fuzzy models constitute an important generalization of existingfuzzy models and, in contrast to the existing models, generat...
متن کاملSemi-Annual Status Report A Comprehension-Based Analysis of AutoFlight System Interfaces
Billings (1996) and other researchers (e.g., Vakil, Hansman, Midkiff, & Vaneck, 1995) have concluded that pilot models of flight automation systems are incomplete and that these models cause operation and training problems (e.g., Mangold & Eldredge, 1995). Sherry and Polson (in preparation) describe a complete model of the avionics. This report summarizes that model and its application to the d...
