This work examines the design rationales, test philosophy, and test procedures for cockpit systems. While emphasis is on cockpit displays, there is also discussion of flight management systems and mission computers. After a review of cockpit design guides, the cockpit design process is examined, and civil and military requirements are discussed. Other topics covered include flight test planning, rotary and fixed-wing mission task elements, and situation awareness testing. The book is of interest to cockpit design engineering staff, those in civil aviation concerned with flight deck technical specifications, and flight test engineers and pilots. Newman teaches safety science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Greeley is senior staff engineer with Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems. Annotation c.
