This chapter explores the integration of artificial intelligence into decision-support systems for the cockpit through the development of an Intelligent Pilot Advisory System. Although the current focus of the system development is assisting pilots in airport selection during mid-flight emergencies, it also serves as a research platform to investigate the feasibility, implementation, and benefits of AI on the flight deck, as well as to study human-AI interactions. User-conducted studies revealed positive pilot reception, with participants finding the system helpful in decision-making and open to further AI applications. They appreciated the increased options analysis, information gathering, and structure provided by the system, while emphasizing the importance of informed decision-making. Based on these promising results, further development is planned, including additional pilot studies with more participants, as well as research into AI models, especially ones focusing on explainability and interpretability.
