Abstract

A simulation study was conducted for determining information flow requirements of a pilot-cockpit interface during an ILS-approach. Study steps for modeling, simulating, and analyzing system processes are discussed. Starting with the problem definition which includes relevant flight processes, the network of pilot tasks, and performance measures, the conceptual model of processes is mathematically described by means of algebraic and difference equations as well as production systems. To transform the model into a simulation program, the simulation language SLAM is used. SLAM elements utilized for modeling flight processes and pilot tasks as well as the procedure of model validation are discussed. The analysis of simulation output data, i.e. state trajectories and task timelines, results in the determination of important information requirements useful in early stages of a design project.
