ABSTRACT

It is expected that many of the concepts and guidelines may be difficult to realize, and with further analysis, it may become clear that some of them are not feasible. However, these design concepts should be developed in more detail so that modeling analyses and empirical studies can be conducted to evaluate performance tradeoffs, workload issues, risks and benefits of new technologies, and pilot engagement issues. Ultimately, flight deck designs will likely take a path somewhere between the end points described here. Many of the issues identified and the design concepts described here are expected to still be applicable.
