Concept of Construction of Ergatical Interface of Multifunctional Aviation Complex with Integrated Modular Avionics

In the focus of this research are the concept of construction and the architecture of the ergatical interface of a prospective aviation complex using integrated modular avionics, which are based on the methodology of rational coordination of the aggregate properties of human operator interaction, technology and the image forming module of the management goal and application in the interests of increasing the efficiency of crew activity and flight safety. Information display and control systems, which are based on digital electronic devices and integrated information management, with the separation of the time of operations for monitoring and displaying data and providing the most convenient form of information representation, are examined in this article. In such systems, only the information that the pilot needs for a given flight mode is reproduced, or called upon them on demand. Wide opportunities in varying the volume and type of presentation of individual parameters depending on the flight modes require engineering and psychological justification for the principles of rational information support for the pilot in the process of solving professional problems. The results of comparative studies of the principles of mapping the spatial position of aircraft for three types of indication are presented: "view from aircraft to ground" (type 1), "view from ground to plane" (type 2) and "view of aircraft and "leader" from another aircraft located behind at the same altitude and ground sp eed" (type 3), which showed the advantages of the third type of indication — information command-leader display. This type of indication provides the pilot with the geocentric image of the flight relative to the earth’s normal coordinate system, the directions of which are the vector of the ground speed, the gravitational vertical and the horizon line, and the image of the control objective and app lication in the form of reflection of change in attitude and change in the configuration position in accordance with the "do as I do" management principle. The possibilities of using IMA-technology and mnemonic frames with information command-leader indication, which allow to increase the efficiency of the crew of multifunctional aviation complexes, are presented.
