MULTISENSORY FEEDBACK IN SUPPORT OF PILOT-AUTOMATION COORDINATION: THE CASE OF UNCOMMANDED MODE TRANSITIONS
The introduction of advanced automation technology to the modern cockpit has created new attentional and monitoring demands for pilots whose primary role has shifted towards supervisory control. Observed breakdowns in pilots' mode awareness, i.e., in their knowledge and understanding of the current and future system configuration, suggest that these demands are not adequately supported by existing automation feedback. This study examined the feasibility and effectiveness of multisensory feedback for providing attentional guidance to pilots in case of unexpected mode transitions. Tactile or peripheral visual clues were presented in the context of a simulated flight scenario involving varying levels of competing visual demands.
