  • Title: Modern cockpit complexity challenges pilot interfaces.
    Author: Dornheim MA.
    Journal: Aviat Week Space Technol; 1995 Jan 30; 142(4):60-3. PubMed ID: 11539272.
    Abstract:
    Advances in the use of automated cockpits are examined. Crashes at Nagoya and Toulouse in 1994 and incidents at Manchester, England, and Paris Orly are used as examples of cockpit automation versus manual operation of aircraft. Human factors researchers conclude that flight management systems (FMS) should have fewer modes and less authority. Reducing complexity and authority override systems of FMS can provide pilots with greater flexibility during crises. Aircraft discussed include Boeing 737-300 and 757-200, Airbus A300-600 and A310, McDonnell Douglas MD-11, and Tarom A310-300.
