A Central Data Entry System (CDES) for transport aircraft was developed for saving panel space and for common operation of various onboard flight management systems. A fully functional CDES model was flown by 27 airline pilots under realistic mission conditions in a flight simulator based evaluation program. Pilot performance and judgment data were analyzed in view of comparing CDES entries with conventional entries and studying CDES location alternatives in the cockpit, turbulence effects on CDES handling, training required for familiarization with the CDES, layout of CDES hardware and software, and the range of CDES capacities. The results show good feasibility and a high degree of pilot acceptance.
