From rigid automation to autonomous system teaming up with humans. How can Human-Systems Integration and cognitive engineering research pave the way towards a fruitful collaboration between pilots and their aircraft’s systems ? This is the question that motivates me everyday to conduct research in this interesting field at the intersection between human factors and systems engineering.I believe that by involving pilots and experts of the Air Traffic Management system early in the design process, future aircraft systems will be one step further towards true teaming that empowers pilots to stay in the loop and have a meaningful control over these future technologies.
