Analysis of Potential Cognitive Computing Aided Tasks

Cockpit operations of large commercial aircraft such as the A350, A380 or A320, or similar, will be analysed along 2 directions: the pilot [“man in the loop”] interaction with the systems and the nature of information delivered. The analysis should allow for identifying specific in-flight conditions, related pilot behaviour, and how data is interpreted, and how and when collaborative / assisted decisions are made. This task will also devise initial case studies deemed relevant to extrapolate the potential of cognitive computing and to demonstrate how they will offer a significant aid to the pilot. The knowledge gained will help developing the initial concept for a digital assistant function supporting full or reduced flight crews.
