• Abstract:
  This report summarizes two part‐task studies addressing flight deck data communication procedures. The purpose of the studies was to evaluate procedures for receiving and reading data comm messages. There is a risk of misunderstanding complex clearances, so the study results could help to reduce this risk. After analyzing three alternatives, our recommendation is to include a requirement for both pilots to read the clearance silently and then one of the pilots should read it aloud and obtain acknowledgement from the other pilot that they concur that it is the correct clearance content.
