Flight deck developments

Abstract

Up until the 1970s the number of instruments on an aircraft's flight deck had been increasing over many years as technical developments made it possible to present more information about the aircraft and its systems. Particularly on large transport aircraft, the multiplicity of displays and their associated controls kept a sizeable flight crew fully occupied controlling and monitoring all the functions.
