Describes an approach taken to determining the requirements and evaluation of possible design ideas for future flight deck-based systems, the focus being on the completion of air traffic management and associated tasks in the new air traffic environment. The work described was carried out as part of the European FANSTIC II (Future Air traffic management, New Systems and Technologies Integration in the Cockpit II) programme, funded through the European Community. The consortium included European airframe manufacturers, such as British Aerospace, Fokker and Aerospatiale, avionic equipment suppliers, such as Sextant and Smiths Industries Aerospace, and research institutes such as the National Aerospace Laboratory and the University of Kassel. The program was divided into a number of sub-tasks, each addressing different areas of interest. The studies described in this paper centre on the work carried out by Smiths Industries, under sub-task 5.2: “Man-Machine Interface Studies”. This covered both display studies and control and designation studies. (7 pages)
