This document sets forth general, functional, procedural, and design criteria and recommendations
concerning human engineering of data link systems. The recommendations are based on
limited evidence from empirical and analytic studies of simulated data link communication, and on
experience from operational tests and actual use of data link. However, because data are not yet
available to support recommendations on all potentially critical human engineering issues these
recommendations necessarily go beyond the data link research and include requirements based on
related research and human factors engineering practice. It is also recognized that evolution of
these recommendations will be appropriate as experience with data link accumulates and new
applications are implemented.
This document focuses primarily on recommendations for data link communications between an air
traffic specialist and a pilot, i.e., air traffic services communications, although some
recommendations address use of data link for flight information services. Unless otherwise
specified within the text, all recommendations apply to both flight deck and ground-based data link
systems.
This document is intended as a guide for development and evaluation of data link systems. Human
engineering considerations are an important element of data link system performance. As
illustrated in Figure 1, human engineering recommendations address many component functions
required for effective data link communication services in the operational environment. For
presentation purposes, the recommendations are divided into five sections: General, functional,
procedures, flight deck/air traffic service (ATS) workstation integration, and human-computer
interface. To facilitate understanding and use of this document appropriate cross-references to
interrelated recommendations appear in parentheses throughout the text.strRefField
