Overview

Use of the ZFB A330 Full Flight Simulator for the Evaluation of the Cockpit Interface of a Digital Data Link

(Abstract:)A cockpit interface for digital data link communication with air traffic controllers and future multi-sector planners has been developed in the ZFB A340 full flight simulator using an iterative design approach with repeated usability studies. Examples of the step by step modification of the hardware components of the interface are included in the study. The results of simulator test flights and a questionnaire with approx. 20 professional pilots show that the prototype is accepted to a high degree and that this acceptance can be enhanced with the iterative design procedure.
