The concept of an Intelligent Cockpit as a knowledge-based aiding system is presented. It argues that, in order to maximally support the air crew, user aiding in two areas is required: mission task aiding and interface useability aiding. These areas of aiding are discussed in relation to four different forms of an intelligent cockpit. The central purpose, however, is to introduce the concept of a cognitive design requirement for aiding systems, and to suggest its importance to design solutions expected to achieve crew aiding in both the mission task and interface useability areas. Two arguments are made: (1) A deeper knowledge of human capabilities and limitations is needed to generate effective cognitive design requirements for an aiding system; and (2) more cognitive design requirements are needed for an intelligent cockpit in comparison with a conventional one. Illustrations of possible cognitive design requirements are presented in support of these arguments. Special attention is given to requirements that derive from human capabilities and limitations. Based on the general discussion, it is also concluded that an intelligent cockpit should be a separate module from the traditional systems avionics, since it requires a unique process architecture.
