“…7 show examples). Examples of these guidelines were: eliminate what doesn't add to efficient use [4,5], information used sometimes, shouldn't be displayed always [11], use visual hierarchy [4,5], use default settings, more common tasks should be made easier [5], display data in a directly usable format for the user [12], limit the number of separation lines [13], simplify symbols as far as possible while keeping the understanding [14], group primary information on one display [15], minimize user options [5], and group information that is integrated mentally together [9].…”

Abstract. The objective of the reported work was to study the use and applicability of applied cognitive ergonomics design principles for fighter aircraft, with examples from the modern Swedish swing-role aircraft Gripen. Methods used were a literature review of relevant design principles together with an analysis of their applicability to the fighter aircraft domain as well as interviews of developers and scrutinized system documentation of ongoing fighter aircraft development at Saab. As a result of those activities, we can here present a brief description of cognitive ergonomics design principles applied in the Gripen fighter aircraft, and the development process for human-machine interaction for fighter aircraft. Finally, considerations for the design process for fighter aircraft are discussed in the context of that description.

“…al. ;Stokes & Wickens, 1988;Williges, Williges & Fainter, 1988). Additionally, it has been shown that failure to adequately elicit and consider user requirements in acquisition project management is one of the primary risks leading to software project failure (Evans, Abela & Beltz, 2002), and that increased emphasis on system usability factors early in the program yield shorter training cycles, reduced workload, and lower accident rates --saving money, time, and often lives (FAA, 2003;Crisp, et.…”

In 2005, the United States Air Force Air Combat Command and Air Force Research Laboratory released a Battle Management and Command & Control system human-machine interface Design Guide. A study was conducted at a North American Aerospace Defense Command air defense sector to assess a new command and control system for level of compliance with this new guide. Sixty-seven qualified command and control personnel participated in the pilot study, consisting of 15 qualitative survey items. Results indicate that the use of such a qualitative measurement instrument may prove effective in determining relative levels of compliance with usability guidelines.

“…Williges, Williges and Fainter [12] proposed that there are important similarities in the modem automated office and the high technology flight deck. Both office workers and pilots have become managers of complex suites of automation, rather than manual doers of basic tasks.…”

Using models developed to analyze office automation (e.g.[3]), we identified skilIs needed to perform tasks using the flight management computer on advanced commercial aircraft, Our GOMS analysis showed that all tasks carried out on the device can be described in terms of three methods. Novices who received instruction in a part-task computer based training guided by the GOMS analysis were tested in a flight simulator, Their performance was compared with pilots who received an integrated type of training representing three to ten times the amount of time on task and with pilots who had been using this equipment on the line for at least one year ("experts"). Inconsistencies revealed by the analysis were reflected in the performance of novices (experimentally and professionally trained) as well as the experts.
