Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 航空太空工程學系專班 === 101 === In the process of aviation evolution, the structure of airframe, composite materials and the power technology improve persistently. The primary goal of all these improvement was to speed up the aircraft, increase the flight altitude, extend travel distance, and expand the carrying capacity. Nevertheless, the complexity of aviation system has been influencing pilot's aircraft manipulation. Statistics showed, according to ICAO, that more than 70 percent of aircraft accidents directly or indirectly related to incorrect pilot manipulation. Therefore, the modern aviation system has introduced the concept of human factors engineering to interface of flight instruments cockpit and integrated them into the digital avionics system. This research probes the influence of digital avionics upon pilot's ability training. In the flight of pilot's training and achievement, both of the TH-67 helicopter simulator equipped with analogical flight instruments and CH-47SD full digital flight instruments cockpit are applied to sample and analyze pilot operation margin verity and emergency manipulation procedures. This research also deeply proves that digital avionics do improve pilot's flight manipulation and aviation security efficiency. 645 items of flight emergency procedures are exercised with 396 effective sampling adopted (including 216 of helicopter simulator and 180 of actual aircraft). Under deliberate analysis, the quantification data has verified that the digital avionics can provide pilots with a larger operation margin and shorten the judgment time under emergency situation. It is very obvious to see that the digital avionics can not only alleviate pilot's pressure but also enhance the aviation security.
