An Evaluation of the F/FB/EF-111 Crew/Voice Message System
Abstract
In support of the F/FB/EF-111 Digital Flight Control System Program Office, subjective and performance data were collected in order to provide the government and contractor engineers with information needed in the design of a Voice Message Unit (VMU) interface for the F/FB/EF-111 aircraft. The VMU, one of the new safety of flight systems, is being included as part of the Digital Flight Control Computer. The VMU will be used as a means for alerting crew members to flight critical conditions. The evaluation was comprised of two phases. During the first phase, questionnaire data were collected from a sample of 119 operational F/FB/EF-111 crew members. The second phase of the evaluation involved the mechanization of the VMU interface in an FB-111 simulator, located at the Crew Station Design Facility, for pilots' on-hand experience with the content of the voice messages and the mechanization aspects of the interface.
