Aviation awards a special name—airmanship—for the quality of being highly competent in foundational piloting skills, which seem to comprise primarily judgment, decision making, stick-and-rudder skills, and a bit of intuition. The term, which has a mystical quality, has historically resisted analysis; airmanship is acquired solely through experience. The graying of the Boomers and the extreme turbulence of the last few years in commercial aviation have led to a significant loss of those pilots who started out in simpler, round-dial airplanes and made a tortured transition to glass. Those pilots were comfortable disengaging the autopilot at any time, and more importantly, they continued to stay mentally engaged with flight and systems management even as automation continued to encroach on traditional pilot roles. As an industry, we need to prepare for the loss of these pilots by understanding the elements of airmanship and finding a way to replace the competency. The goal is to eliminate “airmanship” by understanding it...by demystifying it. Human factors/cognitive engineering offers tools and methods to develop a system interface that supports skilled performance from the human/technology team. In this presentation, I will talk about my efforts to understand the elements of skilled performance so that they can be trained, or supported by the interface in a seamless manner Specific topics will include the limits of SOP, monitoring for flight path management, alerting non-normals, and autoflight/mode confusion.
