This report examines the activities of a major commercial air carrier between 1993 and late 1996 as it acquired an advanced fleet of high-technology aircraft (Boeing 757). Previously, the airline's fleet consisted of traditional (non-glass) aircraft, and this report examines the transition from a traditional fleet to a glass one. A total of 150 pilots who were entering the B-757 transition training volunteered for the study, which consisted of three query phases: (1) first day of transition training, (2) 3 to 4 months after transition training, and (3) 12 to 14 months after initial operating experience. Of these initial 150 pilots, 99 completed all three phases of the study, with each phase consisting of probes on attitudes and experiences associated with their training and eventual transition to flying the line. In addition to the three questionnaires, 20 in-depth interviews were conducted. Although the primary focus of this study was on the flight training program, additional factors such as technical support, documentation, and training aids were investigated as well. The findings generally indicate that the pilot volunteers were highly motivated and very enthusiastic about their training program. In addition, the group had low levels of apprehension toward automation and expressed a high degree of satisfaction toward their training. However, there were some concerns expressed regarding the deficiencies in some of the training aids and lack of a free-play flight management system training device.

Taking an integrated, systems approach to dealing exclusively with the human performance issues encountered on the flight deck of the modern airliner, this book describes the inter-relationships between the various application areas of human factors, recognising that the human contribution to the operation of an airliner does not fall into neat pigeonholes. The relationship between areas such as pilot selection, training, flight deck design and safety management is continually emphasised within the book. It also affirms the upside of human factors in aviation - the positive contribution that it can make to the industry - and avoids placing undue emphasis on when the human component fails. The book is divided into four main parts. Part one describes the underpinning science base, with chapters on human information processing, workload, situation awareness, decision making, error and individual differences. Part two of the book looks at the human in the system, containing chapters on pilot selection, simulation and training, stress, fatigue and alcohol, and environmental stressors. Part three takes a closer look at the machine (the aircraft), beginning with an examination of flight deck display design, followed by chapters on aircraft control, flight deck automation, and HCI on the flight deck. Part four completes the volume with a consideration of safety management issues, both on the flight deck and across the airline; the final chapter in this section looks at human factors for incident and accident investigation. The book is written for professionals within the aviation industry, both on the flight deck and elsewhere, for post-graduate students and for researchers working in the area.

This book is for everyone who flies, wants to fly, or instructs in general aviation glass cockpit airplanes. Its purpose is to explore what makes glass cockpit airplanes different, and to give general aviation pilots the tools and knowledge they need to fly these airplanes safely and efficiently. General aviation today is experiencing the most rapid pace of innovation since the late 1940s. Advances in composite structures and engine technology, new aviation fuels, and the availability of whole airplane parachute systems on production airplanes are part of this trend.But the major factor driving this trend is advances in avionics technology -- what the FAA calls "Technically Advanced Airplanes" (TAAs), or what is popularly known as glass cockpit airplanes. These aircraft are defined by features such as Global Positioning Systems (GPS), integrated autopilots, integrated displays, traffic avoidance systems and in-flight datalink interfaces for near-instant access to current weather and flight planning information.These advances offer general aviation pilots the promise of increased levels safety and performance. Unfortunately, the increased levels of safety have not materialized. A recent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) study showed fewer total accidents for glass cockpit aircraft but a higher fatal accident rate and a higher total of fatal accidents. Why has the promise of greater levels of safety for glass cockpit airplanes not been realized? Because, in order to realize these benefits general aviation pilots must learn a new way of flying. Unfortunately, general aviation pilots and training providers have not yet evolved the way they train and fly to catch up with the advances in glass cockpit technology. The goal of this book is to help remedy that problem.
