The Integrated Avionics Control System (IACS) was developed to reduce crew member workload and save cockpit space by controlling all airborne communication systems from a single control panel. This investigation compares the IACS with a suite of standard communication radios through the use of computer graphics, mockups, and hardware. It was concluded (1) that there is a definite savings in cockpit space, (2) the crew workload is reduced, and (3) cockpit 'bookkeeping' related to communications is a significant portion of the workload.
