The problems in pilot-controller interaction are discussed from the viewpoints of blind landing automation for CTOL aircraft and stabilization of VTOL aircraft. For the optimization of the task division between pilot and automation, the properties and capabilities of the human being were compared with those of the technical controller. Optimization criteria for the design of a flight control system are requirements of safety, performance, and economy. Based on the complementary properties of the pilot and the automatic system, a strong man-machine integration is proposed, and the model representations of a hierarchical systems structure for systematic design of flight control systems is described. The hierarchy model is applied to the guidance simulation study of a hovering VTOL aircraft.
