GOLDEN RULES

Fly, Navigate, and Communicate 

- In that order and with appropriate task-sharing

Use the appropriate level of Automation at all times 

Understand the FMA at all times

Take Action, if things do not go as expected

1. Fly, navigate, and communicate:

in this order and with appropriate tasksharing.

​

  • Fly the Aircraft, Fly the Aircraft, Fly the Aircraft…

  • ​Don’t allow anything to distract you from your role as PF or PM!

  • PM must ACTIVELY MONITOR the flight parameters and highlight any excessive deviations.

 

  • Both pilots must maintain their Situational Awareness and immediately resolve any uncertainty as a crew

2. Use the appropriate level of automation at all times.

 

  • The appropriate level of automation depends upon the situation and the task. Pilot judgment prevails, including selecting a manual flight.

  • Understand the implication of the intended level of automation.

  • Select the intended level.

  • Confirm the expected aircraft reaction.

3. Understand the FMA at all times.

 

  • Monitor your FMA.

  • Announce your FMA.

  • Confirm your FMA.

  • Understand your FMA.

4. Take action if things do not go as expected.

 

  • By PF changing the level of automation.

  • By PF reverting to manual flight.

  • By PM taking action 

      * Question

      * Challenge.

      * Take-over.

AIRBUS
Ten High Level Design Requirements

  • The pilot is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft

  • If required, the flight crew can exercise their full authority by performing intuitive actions, while aiming at eliminating the risks of overstress or overcontrol

  • The cockpit design accommodates a wide range of pilot skill levels and experience acquired on previous aircraft

  • The cockpit design ensures safety, passenger comfort, and efficiency, in that order of priority.

  • The cockpit design aims at simplifying the tasks of the flight crew, by enhancing situation and aircraft status awareness.

  • The automation is considered as an additional feature available to the crew, who can decide when to delegate and what level of assistance they need, according to the situation.

  • The design of the Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) takes into account system features together with the strengths and weakness of the flight crew.

  • The state of the art of the Human Factors considerations are applied in the system design process, in order to manage potential errors of the flight crew.

  • The overall cockpit contributes to facilitate and to enhance the flight crew communication (e.g. tasksharing, teamworking)

  • The use of new technologies and implementation of new features are imposed by: Significant safety benefits,,Obvious operational advantages, Clear response to the needs of the flight crew

HMI Defined

​

A Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is a user interface or dashboard that connects a person to a machine, system, or device. While the term can technically be applied to any screen that allows a user to interact with a device, HMI is most commonly used in an industrial process.

​

HMIs are similar in some ways to Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) but they are not synonymous; GUIs are often leveraged within HMIs for visualization capabilities
