Decomposition and Classification of Flight Operation Tasks of Civil Aircraft

After referring to the analysis method applicable to the workload of the military aircraft and the flight operation manuals of the civil aircraft A320 and B737, the paper proposes the task decomposition steps applicable to the flight operation procedures of the civil aircraft, and then takes the pilot’s normal operation procedures of A320 as the example to carry out the task decomposition on the basis of the flight operation task decomposition method and steps proposed by the paper, and classifies on the basis of the obtained analysis of the human and machine attributes. Combining with the classification of the cockpit human–machine interfaces of the civil aircraft and the development of the displaying and control interfaces, the paper determines the flight operation task type applicable to the civil aircraft. After talking with the expert pilots of different aircraft models, the task classification is consistently approved, and the expert pilots believe the classification table is reasonable and completed. For the results of the face-to-face talks of the expert pilots of different aircraft models are consistent, the classification at present is believed to be universal to the classification of the flight operation tasks of the civil aircraft.
