An evaluation of candidate cockpit Data Link input/output (I/O) devices using airline flight simulators was conducted. The opinions of airline pilots regarding Air Traffic Control by Data Link were obtained. Three full complements of I/O devices were evaluated. The complements were differentiated by the presence of (1) a visual short message ATC (SMATC) display, (2) a voice synthesizer (Vosyn), and (3) a combination of SMATC and Vosyn. An experimental design was developed to evaluate these complements by means of three scenarios in both DC-9 and B-727 airline flight simulators. The experimental setup provided for the collection of quantitative data in the form of message response times and communications events. Qualitative data consisting of questionnaire responses and comments were obtained.
