ACHIEVING SAFER AIR TRANSPORTATION VIA SITUATION AWARENESS: COCKPIT RESOURCE MANAGEMENT OF THE FUTURE
As a part of achieving greater flight safety, this paper focuses on the human-machine interface. It examines situation awareness in the glass cockpit for the year 2000 - how commercial aviation technology will effect the pilots, crewmembers, ergonomics, aerospace engineers, software engineers, management, and mechanics. Like any individual engaging in high level performance tasks, pilots require a high degree of situation(al) awareness to function appropriately. Likened to all highly accountable positions, pilots are required to access, prioritize, predict and penetrate the environment. All pilots must have a high level of situation awareness to accommodate the variety of functions required in a rapidly changing environment. Several organizations, notably Boeing and United Airlines, have joined to develop an Enhanced Situational Awareness System (ESAS) to aid pilots in their tasks.
