Abstract

Psychology Psychology, Applied Social Sciences
Pilot noncompliance with checklists has been associated with aviation accidents. This noncompliance can be influenced by complex interactions among the checklist, pilot behavior, aircraft automation, device interfaces, and policy, all within the dynamic flight environment. We present a method that uses model checking to evaluate checklist-guided pilot behavior while considering these interactions. We illustrate our approach with a case study of a pilot performing the "Before Landing" checklist. We use our method to explore how different design interventions could impact the safe arming and deployment of spoilers. Results and future research are discussed.
