Modern Multifunction Display and Control Systems (MFDCSs) require better human factors design. Optimizing MFDCSs can reduce pilot workload and improve flight performance.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Cognitive Psychology

Background:

  • Modern aircraft cockpits increasingly rely on Multifunction Display and Control Systems (MFDCSs), replacing traditional electromechanical instruments with computer-generated graphics and symbology.
  • While the physical and visual aspects of MFDCSs are understood, critical human factors influencing their optimal design and use remain underexplored.
  • Existing literature suggests that suboptimal MFDCS design can negatively impact flight performance, highlighting a gap in current knowledge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the necessity for human factors-oriented design tools for MFDCSs.
  • To address the lack of quantification regarding the importance of cognitive and psychomotor factors in MFDCS design.
  • To advocate for improved MFDCS design for enhanced usability and performance.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on MFDCS design and human factors.
  • Discussion of current MFDCS content design limitations.
  • Identification of the need for practical design tools.

Main Results:

  • Poor MFDCS design can negatively affect flight performance.
  • Current design methods do not quantify the relative importance of cognitive and psychomotor factors.
  • There is a need for practical human factors-oriented MFDCS design tools.

Conclusions:

  • Developing better MFDCS design tools is crucial.
  • Optimizing information and functionality distribution in MFDCSs is key.
  • Improved MFDCS design can lead to reduced aircrew workload and stress, enhancing flight performance in all conditions.
