While the both new techniques can be applied in TDD systems separately, we introduce them as features supporting a combined uplink-downlink strategy with reduced pilot overhead.
The initial item pool with 102 items had been tested with 15 adolescents, leading to some modifications and a reduced pilot version with 96 items (e.g. leaving out the items about sexual development because of high missing rates or negative feedback of the adolescents).
Among other things, it said, "rules and regulations meant to reduce pilot fatigue and the probability of human error related to accidents are routinely being flouted by Air India".
Automation is generally considered a positive development in aviation safety because it reduces pilot workload and eliminates errors in calculation and navigation.
Another key contribution of the paper is a new pilot scheme which reduces pilot overhead by using only one set of pilots called dedicated pilots.
Similarly, in 2011, the FAA moved to reduce pilot flight duty periods from 16 hours to a maximum of nine to 14 hours.
The Gripen includes the EP-17 cockpit display system, developed by Saab to provide pilots with a high level of situational awareness and reduces pilot workload through intelligent information management.
In a process known as sensor fusion, data from the radar, other sensors, and external systems is filtered and combined by the CIP into a common view, reducing pilot workload.
Improvements from the CH-47C included upgraded engines, composite rotor blades, a redesigned cockpit to reduce pilot workload, redundant and improved electrical systems, an advanced flight control system (FCS) and improved avionics.
The US army introduced an upgraded Chinook, the CH-47D in the 1980s with improvements including upgraded engines, composite rotor blades, a redesigned cockpit to reduce pilot workload, redundant and improved electrical systems, an advanced flight control system (FCS) and improved avionics.
