Safety Topics: Human Factors on Advanced Flight Decks

Abstract

THE inclusion of cockpit resource management in manufacturers training courses and the attitudes of pilots to increased automation on the flight deck are two subjects that have recently received increased prominence in the study of human factors in aviation. These topics together with the results of extensive research studies and the technological progress in information gathering were among areas explored at a Royal Aeronautical Society Conference which was attended by representatives from airlines, manufacturers, research and development organisations and other civil and military bodies.
