ABSTRACT
NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), and Eurocontrol have initiated programs of research and development to provide flight crew, airline operations, and air traffic managers with automation aids to increase capacity in enroute and terminal area operations. These are to support the goals of free flight for safe, flexible, predictable, and efficient operations. To support the development of those aiding systems, human performance in automated aiding has been examined in empirical and computational analytic studies.
