Review: This book comprises 13 chapters from international flight deck design and human factors experts. The first part of the book examines flight deck design – using cognitative function analysis to prevent controlled flight into terrain; head-down flight deck design; head-up displays; warning systems in civil aircraft; handling qualities and their implications for flight deck design; anthropometrics for flight deck design; and stressors in the flight deck environment. The second, much shorter section looks at flight deck evaluation and human factors in flight test and flight deck evaluations.
