1
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:08,950
scenes like this seem to nominate

2
00:00:13,110 --> 00:00:11,040
television newsrooms and newspaper

3
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:13,120
headlines

4
00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:15,759
statistics show that 60 to 80 of all

5
00:00:20,790 --> 00:00:17,840
aircraft accidents are caused by human

6
00:00:23,750 --> 00:00:20,800
error unfortunately air space like our

7
00:00:26,470 --> 00:00:23,760
freeways is becoming crowded

8
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:26,480
a new nasa flight simulation laboratory

9
00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:28,320
called the manned vehicle systems

10
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:30,720
research facility at the ames research

11
00:00:35,190 --> 00:00:32,880
center is addressing human factors

12
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:35,200
issues which relate to pilot and true

13
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:36,800
performance errors

14
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,360
the facility in mountain view california

15
00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:41,360
houses the most realistic commercial

16
00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:44,640
transport boeing 727 aircraft simulation

17
00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,200
system in the world as well as an

18
00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,760
advanced simulator being used to test

19
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:51,600
and develop the cockpits of the next

20
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,000
generation commercial aircraft

21
00:00:59,270 --> 00:00:56,160
facility manager bob scheiner talks

22
00:01:00,950 --> 00:00:59,280
about the boeing 727 cab

23
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:00,960
to do human factors we found that we

24
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:02,480
have to create a

25
00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:04,080
full mission environment we have to give

26
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:05,280
the pilot

27
00:01:08,789 --> 00:01:07,119
exactly the same

28
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:08,799
the same scenario he's exposed to in the

29
00:01:12,950 --> 00:01:10,400
real world otherwise he believes he's in

30
00:01:14,550 --> 00:01:12,960
the simulator in a box but if we provide

31
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,560
all the cues that he finds in the real

32
00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:15,920
world

33
00:01:19,429 --> 00:01:17,600
then we found that he'll behave the same

34
00:01:22,310 --> 00:01:19,439
way psychologically and that's what

35
00:01:34,149 --> 00:01:23,670
fire

36
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:49,350
we'll be back

37
00:01:53,109 --> 00:01:51,270
video cameras and voice recorders

38
00:01:55,030 --> 00:01:53,119
document the physical behavior of the

39
00:01:56,389 --> 00:01:55,040
pilot and other participants in the

40
00:01:58,389 --> 00:01:56,399
simulation

41
00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,399
the principal investigator can monitor

42
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,640
every aspect of the simulation from

43
00:02:04,709 --> 00:02:02,399
instrument settings to tracking the

44
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:04,719
pilot's eye movements

45
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:07,520
topics such as wind shear pilot workload

46
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:10,000
jet lag and fatigue are currently slated

47
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:11,120
for study

48
00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,560
senior scientist dr charles billings

49
00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:16,560
the fire

50
00:02:23,190 --> 00:02:20,000
or indeed any other malfunction

51
00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:23,200
is simply a way of causing the pilot to

52
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,640
have to

53
00:02:28,710 --> 00:02:27,200
do some sort of decision making and some

54
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:28,720
sort of behavior

55
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:31,280
that he does not normally have to do

56
00:02:36,229 --> 00:02:33,599
in the course of routine flying and it's

57
00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:36,239
the mechanisms of that behavior that we

58
00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:38,000
are really studying

59
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:39,680
to try to help you

60
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,400
and uh all flight crew members do a

61
00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:44,400
better job of decision making under

62
00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,959
difficult circumstances

63
00:02:50,949 --> 00:02:49,280
v1

64
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:50,959
rotate

65
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:53,599
the advanced concept simulator is a tool

66
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:56,080
for designing the cockpits of the future

67
00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:58,000
the hope is to replace many of the

68
00:03:02,309 --> 00:03:00,080
switches and dials found in today's

69
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,319
aircraft with less cluttered instrument

70
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:04,720
panels that are easier to use and can

71
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:07,760
monitor aircraft functions better

72
00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:09,840
that's a manned vehicle systems research

73
00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,879
facility solving in-flight human factors
