Pilots reviewing electronic flight bags in a cockpit

Aviation

Human factors and UX research for flight-deck tools, electronic flight bags, and airline operational workflows.

Research shaped by the work.

Evaluate how pilots and operators find information, manage workload, and coordinate under realistic operational demands. Research combines task analysis, usability testing, and simulation where the question calls for it.

  • FAA/EASA usability guidance
  • Cognitive Task Analysis
  • Simulation & Workload Evaluation

Evidence informs operational readiness and design decisions. UX evaluation is not aviation certification or a replacement for required system qualification.
