On the Development of a Monitoring Test for the Selection of Aviation Operators

摘要

In future ATM systems aviation operators will have to work with highly automated systems. According to prior research operational monitoring will become a prominent aspect of task performance [1]. Thus, operators monitoring appropriately will be needed, being able to detect system errors in time and to take over control if automation fails. To monitor appropriately, different monitoring phases (orientation, anticipation, detection, and recheck) have to be performed by the subjects. Within these phases, the relevant information should be gathered to enable taking over full control, once automation should fail. Based on this model of appropriate monitoring behavior [2, 3], the present study focuses on the development of a monitoring test for the selection of future operators in the field of aviation.
