Developments in electronic displays and computers have enabled avionics designers to present the pilot with ever-increasing amounts of information in greater detail and with more accuracy. However, technicological developments have not always brought about enhancement of the pilot's role as aircraft systems manager. In fact, there is evidence that the new technology may add to the pilot's workload to the extent that his performance decreases. Recent articles and reports of research indicate that application of human factor principles and procedures to: (1) develop appropriate display formats, (2) consider the total avionics suite as an integrated system, and (3) simplify or summarize related data will significantly improve total aircraft performance. Indeed, development of the "chip" and new display techniques create an imperative demand for human factor considerations early in system design, ensuring that user evaluation, information integration, and simplification are intrinsic qualities of the system.
电子显示器和计算机的发展使航空电子设备设计师能够向飞行员提供越来越多的信息，且信息更加详细、准确。然而，技术发展并非总能提升飞行员作为飞机系统管理者的作用。事实上，有证据表明新技术可能会增加飞行员的工作量，以至于其表现会下降。最近的文章和研究报告表明，将人为因素原则和程序应用于：（1）开发合适的显示格式，（2）将整个航空电子设备套件视为一个集成系统，以及（3）简化或汇总相关数据，将显著提高飞机的整体性能。的确，“芯片”的发展和新的显示技术迫切需要在系统设计早期就考虑人为因素，确保用户评估、信息整合和简化是系统的内在品质。
