Occurrence of human error in highly complex systems, such as a cockpit, can be disastrous and/or overwhelmingly costly. Mismanagement of multiple concurrent tasks has been observed by researchers to be a type of repetitive human error in previous studies of accidents and incidents. This error may occur in the form...
Piloting a commercial aircraft involves performing multiple tasks in a real-time
environment that require pilot's attention and cognitive resource allocation. Due to resource
limitation, pilots must perform cockpit task management (CTM) because they cannot perform
all tasks that demand their attention at once. Hence, pilots must prioritize the tasks in...
