Objectives Application features

Pilot workload and stress reduction during upsets Automatic upset detection and automatic or
Increasing Situational Awareness during upsets manually assisted upset recovery
Upset strategy control axes prioritisation which
Application of correct upset recovery procedures
mimics recovery procedures as a trained pilot
according to current training standards
would apply
More confidence in unfamiliar situations Aircraft load factor and speed limits protection
Automated and manual approach guidance
Dedicated cockpit display HMI with guidance logic
and cues

Results
Proof-of-concept of new cockpit HMI solutions for upset recovery
guidance and assistance by experienced airline pilots
Assessment of operational acceptability of automatic and manually Upset Recovery Mode Definition
assisted upset recovery strategies Baseline (no guidance) OFF
New cockpit display HMI and logic reduces workload and positively
assists the pilot in recovering from an upset as compared to Manual recovery with Upset Director MAN-D
conventional cockpit displays (baseline) Manual recovery with Flight Path Guidance MAN-T
Manually assisted or automatic upset recovery with HMI upset Auto recovery with Upset Director HYB-D
guidance cues improves Situation Awareness as compared to
Auto recovery with Flight Path Guidance HYB-T
automatic recovery without any guidance
General pilot preference for the new HMI upset Flight Path Auto recovery without any guidance AUTO
Guidance:
The tunnel flight path guidance gives a good clear input of
what is going on
Reduces workload, increases ability to observe and assess

higher WL higher SA

less WL lower SA
