The present status of transport aircraft cockpit standardization was evaluated by examination of regulations and other design practice documents and by interviews with airline pilots and engineers. Flight critical areas most in need of increased standardization were identified as (1) primary flight guidance instrumentation and (2) pilot input keyboards. Additional areas proposed for further industry consultation, possibly leading to further standardization at a future date, include flap, slat, and leading-edge device control and display systems; indicated airspeed (IAS)-Mach indicators; powerplant instrumentation; and electric and hydraulic power diagrams, displays, and controls. The continued use of a mixed metric and English unit measurement plan in both United States and foreign manufactured aircraft is noted, and the incidence of pilot dual qualifications and the need for criteria for digital system software certification are also discussed.
