Abstract

Abstract In their recent article on total energy-based flight-path displays, Amelink, Mulder, van Paassen, and Flach (2005) quite rightly pointed out that energy issues are covered in descriptions of the piloting task, which tend to be based on the machine's behavior, rather than the system's functions and their relation to the goals to be achieved. Taking a more holistic approach, referred to by Amelink et al. as ecological interface design, will lead to greater pilot situation awareness, flight safety, and efficiency. We have addressed this in our work on designing energy display formats for civil aircraft, and would like to add to the work of Amelink et al. in a reply to their article.
