ABSTRACT

Many pilots utilize portable electronic flight bags (EFB) as supplemental sources of information on the flight deck. Because EFB applications often obtain data from different sources than the certified systems displayed in the aircraft panel, there is a potential for the EFB and onboard systems to simultaneously show pilots information that conflicts. As manufacturers explore integrating uncertified EFB information into the aircraft panel, there is a need to understand the impact of information conflicts on pilot response. A simulation study with Boeing 737 pilots was conducted to examine how level of integration of uncertified information into the aircraft panel impacts pilot response to information conflicts between an uncertified EFB source and approved sources of information on the flight deck. The results indicate that as uncertified EFB information became more integrated into the panel, participants were more likely to both detect and investigate information conflicts between approved and uncertified sources.

摘要

许多飞行员利用便携式电子飞行包（EFB）作为驾驶舱的补充信息来源。由于EFB应用程序通常从与飞机面板上显示的经过认证的系统不同的来源获取数据，因此EFB和机载系统有可能同时显示发生冲突的飞行员信息。随着制造商探索将未经认证的EFB信息整合到飞机面板中，有必要了解信息冲突对飞行员响应的影响。波音737飞行员进行了一项模拟研究，以检查未经认证的信息整合到飞机面板中的程度如何影响飞行员对未经认证的EFB信息源与经批准的驾驶舱信息源之间的信息冲突的反应。
