The use of operational event sequence diagrams and work domain analysis techniques for the specification of the crewing configuration of a single-pilot commercial aircraft

Abstract: Aircraft manufacturers and avionics systems suppliers are developing technologies for airliners that will be operated by just a single crew member. An alternative approach to using a large amount of on-board computing proposes the utilisation of extant technology derived from single-seat military aircraft and Uninhabited Air Systems where control is distributed in real time across the aircraft flight deck and ground stations (which supervise several aircraft simultaneously). Using a combination of operational event sequence diagrams and work domain analysis techniques, the allocation of tasks and requirements for the development of supporting technologies for such an operational architecture are identified in a low visibility taxi scenario. These analyses show that many of the functions undertaken by a second pilot in this situation are associated with checking, surveillance and monitoring activities. These must be undertaken either by automated aircraft systems or the monitoring personnel in the ground station. This analytical approach can successfully provide the necessary information underpinning the design requirements for such an aircraft concept.

Safety Management Practices Hindering the Development of Safety Performance Indicators in Aviation Service Providers

Abstract: . Five aviation service providers participated in a study aiming to identify factors that impact the implementation of a safety management system and the safety performance of the organization. Safety managers were interviewed and their comments analyzed using grounded theory approach. Hindering factors were categorized and integrated into a model.

An Input–Process–Output Model of Pilot Core Competencies

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the flight-related core competencies for professional airline pilots and to structuralize them as components in a team performance framework To achieve this, the core competency scores from a total of 2,560 OPC (Operator Proficiency Check) missions were analyzed A principal component analysis (PCA) of pilots’ performance scores across the different competencies was conducted Four principal components were extracted and a path analysis model was constructed on the basis of these factors The path analysis utilizing the core competencies extracted adopted an input–process–output’ (IPO) model of team performance related directly to the activities on the flight deck The results of the PCA and the path analysis strongly supported the proposed IPO model

Engineering Psychology and Cognitive Ergonomics: Cognition and Design

Abstract: Latency or system response time (i.e., the delay between user input and system response) is a fundamental factor affecting human-computer interaction (HCI). If latency exceeds a critical threshold, user performance and experience get impaired. Therefore, several design guidelines giving recommendations on maximum latencies for an optimal user experience have been developed within the last five centuries. Concentrating on the lower boundary latencies, these guidelines are critically reviewed and contrasted with recent empirical findings. Results of the review reveal that latencies below 100 ms were seldom considered in guidelines so far even though smaller latencies have been shown to be perceivable to the user and impact user performance negatively. Thus, empirical evidence suggests a need for updated guidelines for designing latency in HCI.

The Future Flight Deck

Abstract: The future commercial flight deck will need to consider the effects of global economic drivers in its design. These issues will considerably alter operating concepts and have a knock-on effect to the human aspects of design and operations. It is argued that ‘user-centered’ design is limited in considering such factors and a more ‘use centered’ design approach is required.
