Enhanced Avionics System

• The EASy key design objectives are focussed on
  the human factors
• Intuitive Man-machine Interface,
• Improved the situational awareness,
• Reduced workload,
• Keeping the pilot in the loop,
• Better crew coordination.

Proof Of Concept 1/3

• Goals
• Minimize the certification risks,
• Assure the pilot acceptance.
• A POC plan was proposed and discussed with the
  Authorities
• Identification of the POC candidates,
• Defined the adequate means to evaluate each new
  features (simulator or aircraft testbed),
• Evaluation tests program.

Proof Of Concept 2/3

• History
• Evaluators
• 14 pilots ( 3 FAA, 5 JAA, 2 DA, 2 DFJ, 2 HI )
• 3 Engineers ( 1 FAA, 3 JAA )
• 5 stages spread on 6 months allowing to iterate
  in the design

13
Proof Of Concept 3/3

• Assessment Process
• Red book provides
• Goals of the evaluation,
• overview of the current definition and the
  associated limitations,
• Scenarii.
• Refresher session on simulator 2/3 hours (first
  day)
• Briefing
• Evaluation on SIMULATOR on CITIII 2/3 hours
  (second day)
• Debriefing
• Questionnaire.

Conclusions

• A Proof Of Concept Phase allows to
• Address, in advance, comments in the final
  design,
• Minimize risk in the certification,
• Help the Certification Authorities to
  understand the new design philosophy and
  concepts, and then to accept the certification
  basis.
• Increase the system confident in operational
  needs,
• Check that the design match with the initial
  objectives in operational conditions.
