Pilot acceptance of an airborne link terminal (ALT), intended as an interface of a data link between aircraft and air control was studied in an Airbus A300 flight simulator. Response time and eye point of regard measurements as well as a questionnaire data were assessed. Results show that the introduction of the ALT has no negative effect on pilots' work pattern and that pilots can benefit from the additional information and control functions offered by the ALT. A significant reduction of ambiguous voice communication between pilot and air traffic controller is achieved.
