This paper aims to present research carried out on the influence of GUI graphical elements design for an integrated mission management system (IMMS) display flight planning process.
Surveys and research were conducted among students/pilots to explore graphic presentation methods for flight planning displays. Guidelines for graphical layout of the IMMS flight planning interface are proposed.
A research concept was obtained, enabling GUI tests for IMMS using prepared templates and questionnaires.
This study improves cockpit information readability, understanding and presentation, particularly for flight planning elements such as terrain, weather, traffic and zones influencing route organisation.
This study targets possible improvements to the flight path planning process in aviation, inducing a reduction in errors related to human factors while processing the visual data on-board.
The study verified the impact of drawing and rendering methods on IMMS flight planning, suggesting that current display methods may be error-prone when showing hazard information from multiple sources on a single screen.
