New technologies like digital data links and advanced software assistance to the human operators are investigated to accommodate the growth in travel and at the same time improve safety to the required levels. The occurrence and prevention of human errors is therefore a main and high priority issue in the design and validation of new technology applications. This lesson learnt with so-called 'automation' in aviation will be reviewed briefly as well as the challenges that lay ahead for the industry. Studies and experiments with applications of new technology for data linking, air traffic management and flight deck automation, will be discussed. The emphasis is on the quali5ty of the human interactions with such future technologies as observed and measured during realistic simulations of possible operational applications. Human operator behavior can be studied and documented by means of more advanced measurement equipment that enables objective performance and workload measurements when working with these systems. The role and importance of contrasting subjective and objective measurement techniques for decision making on the 'way forward' with the design and validation process will be illustrated and discussed. Finally, some fallacies as well as implications for future work will be highlighted.
