High-Level Review Principles for Human-Machine Interface Design of Civil Aircraft Flight Deck

Abstract

High-level human factor engineering principles, which could be used to develop many detailed review guidelines in the design and evaluation of Civil Aircraft Flight Deck Human-Machine Interface, have been introduced in this paper. These principles only address the human factor engineering aspects of the Flight Deck design, but no other related considerations, such as instrumentation, control or structural design. The human factor engineering review principles are organized into four categories: general principles, awareness principles, workload principles and error management principles.
