Analytical Study of Cockpit Information Requirements.

Abstract

An assessment is made of cockpit information requirements likely to be imposed on aircraft in the next fifteen years as a result of improvements in the ATC system and in aircraft design. These requirements are analyzed by work centers and include flight control, navigation, collision avoidance, flight management, communications, caution/warning and monitoring, and checklist functions. From a baseline of current requirements and technology, the application of new requirements and technology is analyzed. Three aircraft are hypothesized representing three time periods of technical development. The purpose is to investigate the impact of future ATC changes on differently equipped aircraft.
