Pilots Needed for Information Automation Study
Pilots are needed for an FAA-funded study investigating
Human Factors issues that might occur due to different types
of “information automation” systems being added to flight
decks, such as decision aids, EFB applications, and new
situation awareness displays. The results of the study will
help develop guidelines and recommendations for the design
of new information automation systems for flight deck use.
The study will be conducted in a low-fidelity flight
simulator in a Honeywell facility in Golden Valley, Minn., a
western suburb of Minneapolis. The identity of study
participants and the information obtained from them will be
kept anonymous, so there is no jeopardy posed by assisting
with this study. Participation will require 6-8 hours,
including initial briefing, training, performing the study,
and completing post-test questionnaires. Honeywell will
compensate participants $200; pilots who live locally are
preferred as expenses cannot be reimbursed.
