Abstract
An examination of autoflight systems in modem aircraft was made, with empasis on the complex mode structure which is suspect in several recent accidents. Aviation Safety Reporting System reports from 1990-94 were examined. Flight Mode Annunciator conventions were inventoried. Focussed interviews with pilots and check airmen were conducted. Principal results identified the lack of a consistent global model of the AutoFlight System architecture and identified the vertical channel as requiring enhanced feedback. An Electronic Vertical Situation Display to help mitigate the identified problems was prototyped.
