This study deals with a proposed advisory display against cockpit procedural deviations by using autonomously estimated flight phases. Advisory systems such as a landing gear horn are of interest in this study as reactive means to protect from the consequences of slips or mistakes. The proposed system provided advisory information regarding control devices and switches critical in each flight phase. To this end, the flight phase at each instant was estimated by using the limitations of transitions from one flight phase to another. The system was implemented in a flight simulator of a glass cockpit environment, where advisory information was presented to flight crew members in an integrated altering display. An operational simulation beginning from cockpit preparations to engine shutdown was conducted, and showed that the advisory system functioned against procedural deviations appropriately and timely. However, it was found that the flight phase transition needs to be improved after a missed approach, and that the display information needs to be integrated with the existing warning system. Potential implementation of a proposed system in a future warning system or a future flight management system was suggested.
