Cockpit Procedural Advisory System Utilizing Flight Phase Estimation

Abstract An advisory display against procedural deviations on the flight deck by using autonomously estimated flight phases was proposed. The system provided advisory information regarding control devices and switches critical in each flight phase. A piloted operational simulation yielded that the advisory system functioned appropriately and timely. Meanwhile, necessities of improving the flight phase transition after a missed approach and of integrating the display information with the existing warning system were also revealed. Potential implementation of a proposed system in a future warning system or a future flight management system was suggested.
