Attention is given to a technique for the derivation of pilot cognitive networks from empirical data, which has been successfully used to guide the redesign of the Control Display Unit that serves as the primary interface of the complex flight management system being developed by NASA's Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator program. The 'pathfinder' algorithm of Schvaneveldt et al. (1985) is used to obtain the conceptual organization of four pilots by generating a family of link-weighted networks from a set of psychological distance data derived through similarity ratings. The degree of conceptual agreement between pilots is assessed, and the means of translating a cognitive network into a menu structure are noted.
