Abstract

Since multifunction switching is a relatively new concept in controls technology, many design questions unique to this type of control need to be addressed. Research was conducted to determine pilot acceptability and useability of a panel of multifunction switches for aircraft applications. Many of the design criteria identified during the studies as critical to the optimization of switch/function assignment and determination of operator selections required to perform tasks will be presented.
