One objective of the Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) Project is to increase the capacity and utilization of small non-towered, non-radar equipped airports by transferring traffic management activities to an automated system and separation responsibilities to general aviation (GA) pilots. This paper describes the development of a research multi-function display (MFD) to support the interaction between pilots and an automated Airport Management Module (AMM). Preliminary results of simulation and flight tests indicate that adding the responsibility of monitoring other traffic for self-separation does not increase pilots' subjective workload levels. Pilots preferred using the enhanced MFD to execute flight procedures, reporting improved situation awareness (SA) over conventional instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures.
小型飞机运输系统（SATS）项目的一个目标是，通过将交通管理活动转移至自动化系统，并将间隔管理职责交给通用航空（GA）飞行员，来提高小型无塔台、无雷达机场的容量和利用率。本文介绍了一种研究型多功能显示器（MFD）的开发情况，该显示器用于支持飞行员与自动化机场管理模块（AMM）之间的交互。模拟和飞行测试的初步结果表明，增加自行间隔时监测其他交通情况的职责并不会提高飞行员的主观工作量水平。飞行员更喜欢使用增强型MFD来执行飞行程序，称与传统仪表飞行规则（IFR）程序相比，态势感知（SA）有所改善。
