Aircraft Alerting Systems Criteria Study PDF Download

This report covers Phase II of a study conducted for the FAA to develop flight status monitor (FSM) concepts. Previous studies of crew alerting systems suggested the concept of a system which could monitor a flight, alert the crew to non-normal operation and system conditions, guide the crew through the appropriate response procedures and provide feedback to the crew concerning their actions. Major Phase II activities include: (1) Using the results of Phase I to refine the FSM system specifications. (2) Finalizing the implementations of the FSM simulator hardware and software. (3) Conducting evaluations of the system with experienced transport pilots. (4) Drawing conclusions and working recommendations concerning an FSM system by using the data developed in the evaluation and identifying issues which need further investigation.
