This document describes an analysis of the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) database regarding flightdeck crew alerting deficiencies. The ASRS database contains thousands of reports concerning actual or potential deficiencies, which may compromise the safety of aviation operations in the National Aviation System. This analysis searched the ASRS database for incidents of flight technical errors resulting from confusion1 distraction, or annoyance associated with the sounds and lights present in the cockpit. The analysis of the ASRS reports produced six major crew alerting problem areas: (1) Distraction of Alerts; (2) Missed Alerts; (3) Lack of Alerts; (4) Alert Inhibit Logic; (5) Non-distinguishable Alerts; and (6) Multiple Alerts. These problem areas resulted in a variety of flight technical errors, such as altitude and heading deviations, attention deviations, and aborted takeoffs. The crew alerting problems indicated in the ASRS reports are examined in detail, and any pertinence to the design of the Data Link system is concluded.
