Cockpit Switching Study: Logic and Design Procedure Development for Multifunction Mode Switching Controls.

Abstract

The purpose of the cockpit switching study was to develop a procedure for design and application of multifunction switching concepts to cockpit controls, and thereby reduce both the number of cockpit switches required and the switching workload of the pilot or aircrew. Such a procedure was developed and is printed under separate cover in a self-guiding handbook format. The procedure is a logical, step-by-step method of consolidating many switching functions on relatively few multifunction switches. The procedure handbook includes appendices containing a review of multifunction switching hardware, and human-engineering design considerations. (Modified author abstract)
