Speech-enhanced data links improve general aviation pilot performance and situation awareness (SA) compared to text-only systems. Integrating speech components is crucial for future single-pilot operations and safety.

Area of Science:

  • Aviation human factors research
  • Human-computer interaction in aviation
  • Pilot performance and workload analysis

Background:

  • Limited research exists on mixed-modality data link integration in single-pilot general aviation (GA) cockpits.
  • Potential safety implications of data link systems in GA are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To objectively evaluate general aviation pilot performance using a mixed-modality simulated data link.
  • To subjectively assess pilot workload, situation awareness (SA), and preferences for different data link modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Sixteen Visual Flight Rules (VFR)-rated pilots were tested in a flight simulator.
  • Data link modalities included text, synthesized speech, digitized speech, and a speech/text combination.
  • Experiments were conducted under both VFR and marginal VFR flight conditions.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in pilot performance, mental workload, and SA were observed across data link modalities.
  • Text-only data links led to increased time and workload compared to speech-based conditions.
  • Higher SA performance was noted with textual and digitized speech data links.

Conclusions:

  • Adding a speech component significantly enhances textual data links for single-pilot GA operations.
  • Findings provide guidance for developing future GA systems and flight performance objectives.
  • Improved data link interfaces can enhance operational safety in single-pilot GA.
