Abstract:This paper outlines strategic flight deck human factors issues in the implementation of Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) and recommends strategies for addressing these issues. Human factors issues were identified through a review of the literature and a series of discussions with Subject Matter Experts. We outline three main areas of strategic research needs: 1) general programmatic issues, 2) flight deck capabilities assumed for “Dynamic TBO”(planned for the 2026-2030 timeframe), and 3) implementation issues associated with TBO. Independent human factors support that provides feedback to the FAA is critical to identifying and remedying issues prior to the implementation of Dynamic TBO and to identifying solutions to issues as they arise. One general recommendation is for FAA develop a TBO Human Factors Roadmap identifying specific capabilities and expected availability. For each of these capabilities, the roadmap would identify any potential issues related to certification, training, and flight deck procedures. The roadmap would track planned research and performance monitoring and include the results of those efforts as well as lessons learned from implementation of the incremental phases of TBO. The roadmap would be a ‘living document’ and be updated on a regular basis.
