Abstract:This paper is a review of human factors problems associated with the user-interface design of a set of Global Positioning
System (GPS) receivers, certified for use in aircraft for instrument non-precision approaches. The paper focuses on
design problems associated with the interfaces and specific inconsistencies across the set of interfaces that could cause
confusion or errors during operation. Some specific problems addressed involve the layout and design of knobs and
buttons; control labeling inconsistencies across units; the placement and use of warnings; feedback, or the lack there of;
and the integration of specific flying tasks while using the receivers. Recommendations for solving some of the problems
are provided, as well as suggestions to the FAA, GPS manufacturers, and pilots regarding the future development and
use of these products.
