| SUMMARY: | How interruptions affect performance. May be very useful for the "task
momentum" factor. Research Question: to what extent do interruptions disrupt pilot activity on the flightdeck? Dependent Measures: procedure performance errors, procedure performance time ensemble FPM (Flight Path Management) Activity. Results: Error rates were very low, but interrupted procedures contained significantly more, on average 53% more, procedure performance errors than uninterrupted procedures. ATC interruptions significantly increased performance errors in the flightdeck procedures. Interruptions did not degrade subjects’ speed in performing ongoing procedural tasks. |
