Current procedures for handling flight plan diversions can require too much of the crew's resources. This increases workload and may compromise safety and cause delays in modifying the flight plan. The goal of NASA Langley Research Center's Diverter research program is to develop guidelines for a prototype pilot decision aid for diversions that will reduce cognitive workload, improve safety, increase capacity and traffic flow, and increase aircraft efficiency. The Diverter program has been partitioned into five phases, the first three of which were performed under contract by Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company, Marietta, GA. In the first two phases, which have been completed, the system requirements and desired functions were defined and a prototype decision-making aid was implemented and demonstrated on a workstation. In phase three, which is currently under way, the pilot/vehicle interface is being defined and the capability of the prototype is being improved. In the last two phases, which will be performed at NASA Langley Research Center, the interface will be implemented, tied into the prototype aiding software, and installed in an advanced simulation facility for testing. In addition, significant implementation issues may be addressed through flight testing on NASA research aircraft. Information is given in viewgraph form.
