Most of us learned to fly when the most advanced thing on our panels was a NAV/COM. Perhaps you entered the scene a bit later and had DME or even a rho-theta RNAV. Point is, few of us learned to fly in an airplane that had a display of any type.
Some Training Required
Key Takeaways:
- Modern aircraft cockpits have transitioned from simple, intuitive avionics to complex glass displays and sophisticated navigators, demanding extensive study and operational experience.
- This increased complexity and the lack of standardized operating logic across manufacturers create significant safety risks, as pilots may struggle to effectively operate the advanced systems, especially in challenging situations.
- The author advocates for engineers to prioritize industry-wide standardization of avionics operating logic to make these complex systems as intuitive and enduring as older, simpler devices.
