3 Specific Observations and Research Questions Raised
Pages 13-18

The Chapter Skim interface presents what we've algorithmically identified as the most significant single chunk of text within every page in the chapter.
Select key terms on the right to highlight them within pages of the chapter.


From page 13...
... • What clever airport designs are possible that would be approvable? AIR NAVIGATION OPERATIONS, AIR NAVIGATION SUPPORT, AND FLIGHT OPERATION SUPPORT • How are new systems changing training requirements and training technology?

From page 14...
... • How does the industry develop insurance for mitigation of risk? • Is there any research planned to investigate consumer reaction to changes in departure times for weather/other potential delays?

From page 15...
... What studies can be done to identify better ways to understand the relationship between the discrete data elements from the flight data recorder and the wider picture of what pilots are trying to achieve while using automated systems? • Is research planned to ensure that the positive features of existing air traffic control systems are being identified for incorporation into new systems?

From page 16...
... • What research is needed to identify win-win situations for outsiders sharing information⎯to identify benefits of information sharing⎯despite the difficulty of building a business model for sharing information? • Is anyone studying the problem of conveying constraints that are imposed when a system designed for a specific purpose is then used for another purpose (e.g., sharing information taken from one domain in another domain with another interface)
