This study examined very high workload, off-nominal and emergency scenarios in which professional air transport pilots, departing from or arriving at Denver International Airport, had to select and then divert to other airports. Nineteen two-person commercial crews flew the Advanced Concepts Flight Simulator in the CVSRF in each of three conditions: 1) together on the flight deck as in current operations (baseline condition), 2) one pilot on the flight deck and a “ground dispatch pilot (GDP)” at a first-generation ground station that provided basic displays, controls, and trajectory management tools, and 3) one pilot on the flight deck and a GDP at a ground station that provided not only these displays, controls, and trajectory management tools, but also a variety of additional tools and displays (such as Crew Resource Management indicators) to aid in air-ground collaboration.
