Hi,
Which are the most important characteristics of the resources crew have "to fly" the A/C:
1) Deliver "inputs" to the machine (Yoke, SS, pedals, etc.)
2) Receive "outputs" from the machine (through System)
3) Receive any other inputs (visual, aural, sensations, etc.)
4) Deal with unpredicted situations (of any reason)
In complex machines we may say this is the resource called
"man machine interface".
In the above thread we are starting to discuss some issues on this fundamental resource.
I suspect many incidents and accidents could be avoided with a better interface not necessarily more complex. Just better.
Simple, highly sophisticated in the sense Leonardo da Vinci put: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Is this possible in advanced FBW planes? I think so. Current Interfaces are sophisticated enough to be simple, reliable and carefully designed to the safest operation of the advanced FBW planes?
The characteristics i consider important i listed in this post on
"Basic requirements of the Interface"
