Helping Pilots Better Anticipate: a User-Centered HMI Concept for Flight Displays

Anticipating and planning are two major components of the human ability to manage one's own cognitive load. Helping pilots enhance their anticipation potential in the cockpit environment becomes an important challenge to address. From an in-situ task analysis and a cognitive model of the anticipation we conceptualized an HMI aiming at supporting the anticipation and planning ability of pilots.
