Abstract = {By using formal models of human computer interaction developed for office automation, they analyzed tasks performed on the FAA check-ride for pilots transitioning to the Boeing 737-300 using the Control and Display Unit (CDU)-the interface to the Flight Management Computer (FMC). As the results of the analysis, a training program was developed to host on a Macintosh platform which incorporated a low-fidelity simulation of the CDU with no other flight automation or displays found in the actual 737-300 cockpit. They evaluated experimental program by training Boeing 737-200 pilots with no 'glass cockpit' experience on all of the tasks involved in the use of the CDU on the FAA-mandated check ride. They also tested the performance of their trained subjects by having the trained subjects carry out CDU programming tasks as the pilot not flying (PNF) in the context of a realistic flight scenario in a 737-300 full motion simulator. The comparison did well with a group of pilots who had received standard airline training averaging three to ten times the amount of time on task, and with pilots who had been operating this device for over at least one year.}

Abstract= {After four years of developing DigiStrips, a prototype that provides human machine interaction solutions based on large flat, touch-input screens, animation, graphical design, feedback, and gesture recognition. DigiStrips offers an alternative solution to the display screen and mouse-based interaction. The Eurocontrol Experimental Centre (EEC) in its neutral role to identify, promote and integrate, at the European level, innovative ideas from European ATC institutes, has considered DigiStrips as being able to provide benefits for the controller working position. The theories were made that this technology, when embedded in an operational context, could make the ATC's work more comfortable and safe. In this paper, it describes the carrying out of the design and validation of an air traffic controller working position that uses this technology.}
