A flight situation advisory system for uninterrupted and efficient air transportation

Abstract Safe and reliable air transportation plays a significant role in modern society by facilitating connection, communication, and economic activity, which has been growing steadily for recent decades. Ensuring a safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the air transportation network is a central challenge in assuring smooth progress in modern and future aviation. This research addresses the problem of human-caused issues in aerial transportation by proposing, substantiating, validating, and designing automated flight situation advisory systems that can provide critical input to the crew in the cases of unexpected and challenging flight situations. It was shown that a proper design and use of these systems could be instrumental in managing flight situations and could eliminate or mitigate a significant fraction of human-cause faults and emergencies. It would expected that such an advisory system can become a proactive and cost-effective tool to improve safety and reliability in the operation of air traffic networks of today and tomorrow. The study’s main result is to assess the importance of factors influencing the development of recommendations by the advisory system.
