Abstract

The present cockpit assignability program assumes that (1) the individual's anthropometric data are correct and (2) that the visual and reach requirements for each cockpit have been correctly defined. Unfortunately, this is not necessarily the case. The three-pronged effort to resolve this problem includes: (1) improving the quantity and quality of individual anthropometric data; (2) standardizing cockpit measurement techniques; and (3) combining the data from both of the above into a decision making model. The end result of these actions should be more appropriate assignments to aircraft cockpits and better data for use in analysis of accidents and ejections.
