“…This changeover from normal flight law to direct flight law might introduce some human factor issues for inexperienced pilots. The results from this study, based on air accident reports, tend to be in line with the current literature [5,10,15,16]. It is recommended that these scenarios should be experimentally tested, to gather further research data to evaluate the effects of passive sidesticks by considering complex human factors.…”

“…However, with the deletion of these flight control linkages, the cross-coupling between the two inceptors has been removed as well. It is suggested by several authors that the deletion of this physical interconnection removes one of the lines in which pilots communicate [5,6]. Field & Harris described in their research the four channels in which pilots communicate with each other, the aircraft and the environment.…”

“…For instance in military aviation, efforts have examined the design and evaluation of novel displays to help pilots more efficiently develop and maintain SA (van Breda & Veltman, 1998;Williams, 2000). In commercial aviation, studies have investigated the effect of automation on aircrew communication and co-ordination (Field & Harris, 1998). Zhang et al (2002) has shown that integrated 3D displays can improve situation awareness of anaesthetists.…”

Situation Awareness, and how systems can be designed to support it appropriately, have been a focus of study in dynamic, safety critical contexts such as aviation. The work reported here extends the study of situation awareness into the domain of Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD). The study was conducted in one of the largest ambulance services in the world. In this study, we encountered development and exploitation of situation awareness, particularly among the more senior EMD operators called allocators. In this paper we describe the notion of a 'mental picture' as an outcome of situation awareness, how an awareness of the situation is developed and maintained, the cues allocators attend to, and the difficulties they face in doing so. One of the key characteristics of ambulance control is that relatively routine behaviour is periodically interspersed with incidents that demand much higher levels of attention, but that the routine work must still be completed; operators exhibit contrasting levels of situation awareness for the different kinds of incidents. Our findings on situation awareness are related to those of others, particularly Endsley and Wickens. The observations and interviews enable us to propose high-level requirements for systems to support appropriate situation awareness, to enable EMD staff to complete their work effectively.

“…In a survey of commercial pilots, Field and Harris [19] found that haptic interaction between the two pilots and also between the pilot and the plane was an important and useful channel of communication. The pilots noted the importance of using this haptic feedback to determine if the plane was working properly when flying on autopilot.…”

Abstract-Human partners working on a target acquisition task perform faster than do individuals on the same task, even though the partners consider each other to be an impediment. We recorded the force profile of each partner during the task, revealing an emergent specialization of roles that could only have been negotiated through a haptic channel. With this understanding of human haptic communication, we attempted a "Haptic Turing Test," replicating human behaviors in a robot partner. Human participants consciously and incorrectly believed their partner was human. However, force profiles did not show specialization of roles in the human partner, nor enhanced dyadic performance, suggesting that haptic interaction holds a greater subconscious subtlety. We further report observations of a nonzero dyadic steady-state force perhaps analogous to cocontraction within the limb of an individual, where it contributes to limb stiffness and disturbance rejection. We present results on disturbance rejection in a dyad, showing lack of an effective dyadic strategy for brief events.
