General and Ergonomic Advantages of Glass Cockpit Aircraft used for Pilot Training

Ergonomics studies the efficiency of persons in their working environment and deals with human-machine system design issues. Nowadays, ergonomics takes the human features such as capabilities, limitations, and needs into consideration to facilitate and optimize everyday tasks of aviation personnel. Influence of ergonomics in aviation safety is large. A glass cockpit is an aircraft cockpit that has digital displays on LCD screens as opposed to traditional analogue dials or gauges. Newer systems are more automated, more precise and the integration of controls is better than in traditional analogue systems, therefore number of human errors during flight simulations can be reduced, as well as a level of respondents´ performance can be increased. The accuracy and dependability of the newer systems ensure reduced pilot fatigue, resulting in safer flying for crew and passengers. The paper outlines general and ergonomic characteristics and advantages of glass cockpit aircraft used for pilot training.
