Abstract

An online questionnaire about assistance systems in helicopters was answered by 153 professional pilots from all areas of civil and military aviation. The results indicate that pilots generally appreciate the systems provided in their helicopters but see potential for improvement in the usability. One notable fact is the high proportion of visual display concepts. The human auditory channel is supported by the systems to a comparatively small extent. Pilots would like more possibilities to directly influence the systems. The multimodal approach is considered promising for the future. The results suggest that assistance systems and their forms of display to the pilots must be designed differently depending on the current flight phase.
