Flight Deck Automation issues

Although flight deck automation has been well received by pilots and by the aviation industry, many automation human factors issues have been raised. In this study, we surveyed a wide variety of sources, including pilots and other aviation experts; accident reports; incident reports; documentation on other studies of incident reports; and documentation on experiments, surveys, and other studies to identify and compile evidence related to 92 flight deck automation issues. We created a World Wide Web site (http://flightdeck.ie.orst.edu/) to make this information available to the aviation research, development, manufacturing, operational, and regulatory communities.
