Human Factors on the Flight Deck: A Practical Guide for Design, Modelling and Evaluation

This book presents the Human Factors  methodologies and applications thereof that can be utilised across the  design, modelling and evaluation stages of the design lifecycle of new  technologies entering future commercial aircraft.

As  advances are made to the architecture of commercial aircraft  cockpits, Human Factors on the Flight Deck argues that it is vitally  important that these new interfaces are safely incorporated and designed  in a way that is usable to the pilot. Incorporation of Human Factors is  essential to ensuring that engineering developments to avionic systems  are integrated such that pilots can maintain safe interactions while  gaining information of value. Case study examples of various  technological advancements during their early conceptual stages are  given throughout to highlight how the methods and processes can be  applied across each stage.

The text  will be useful for professionals, graduate students and academic  researchers in the fields of aviation, Human Factors and ergonomics.
