Determination of the Impact of Digital Data Broadcast on Flight Technical Error.

Abstract

This report documents the data reduction and analysis of existing flight test data regarding the digital data broadcast system (DDBS) concept of automating cockpit data input procedures in an area navigation environment. Particular attention is paid to the statistical quantification of the impact of the DDBS concept on pilot steering performance, mainly flight technical error (FTE). Results of this analysis indicate that DDBS significantly reduces both pilot blunder rate and FTE, for both the enroute and approach phases of flight. (Author)
