This document focuses on human factors related to emerging FF conceptual proposals. The subcommittee intends this document to encompass the concerns of the entire aviation community (i.e., air transport, state aircraft, and general aviation, as well as the ground support infrastructure). These issues include, but are not limited to, the need for further study of such topics as: a. information needed by pilot and controller; 1. Traffic (identification, position, and intent), 2. Weather, 3, hazards, 4. Terrain, 5. En route, oceanic and terminal specific, 6. Special use airspace (SUA); b. separation assurance - responsibility for strategic and tactical measures; 1. Normal procedures, 2. Non-normal procedures, 3. Emergency procedures, 4. Shared responsibility in all modes (i.e., normal, non-normal, and emergency), 5. Final arbitration; c. impact on pilot, controller and aeronautical operational control (AOC) personnel tasks and resulting workload; d. information transfer; 1. Pilot, 2. Controller, 3. AOC; e. training 1. Personnel (pilot, controller, and AOC), 2. International harmonization; f. certification 1. Personnel (pilot, controller, and AOC), 2. Equipage (hardware and software), 3. Ground equipment (level of functionality), 4. International harmonization, 5. End-to-end certification of the separation-assurance system; and g. human-centered automation 1. Airborne, 2. Ground-based.

This document is a compilation of human factors issues concerning the impact of FF concepts on the pilots, controllers, and others within the Air Navigation System (ANS). The issues contained herein are interdependent and should be treated as such by the reader. The subcommittee is developing this document as an aid in identifying human factors research issues, for planning research activities, and for developing recommended concepts and procedures. The aim is toward the incremental evolution and ultimate goal of an end-state FF concept.
