The other day down here at the bottom of the food chain a group of us
corporate pilots were discussing our on-going struggle with cockpit
automation. We decided that there are a couple of topics that we should
know more about. One is the human factors involved with automation and
those that operate it from an individual perspective and second, small team
behavior in operational automated situations. In our discussion we felt
that acquiring a more fundamental understanding of these topics would
prepare us for today's as well as tomorrow's flightdecks.
We think that there may be existing university level courses that focus on
these areas, perhaps at industrial engineering or computer science
departments or even among courses offered in psychology curriculums. Our
needs would necessitate correspondence or distance learning arrangements.
As many participants in this forum are attached and/or work regularly with
some terrific schools, I feel that this is an ideal place to ask for
suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Larry Steele
