• Abstract:
  This plan describes an end-to-end study of operational concepts and procedures associated with the introduction of electronic data communications between flight crews and air traffic controllers. Full performance controllers from terminal facilities will interact with type-related line pilots in four cockpit simulators networked into the Federal Aviation Administration Technical Center's Air Traffic Control Laboratory. Measures of human performance will gain insight into flight crew alerting, display placement, and the utility of voice annunciation of Data Link Messages. Direct measures of workload, communications efficiency, Data Link attention time (measured by head position), and aircraft state will be gathered and translated into recommendations for the cockpit display configuration.
