Lecturer, mentor and L&D expert. As part of his coaching and consulting practice, he focuses on long-term personal development and practical use of the latest technology. "Mere theoretical knowledge is no longer enough today, he who masters the skill wins" is his long-standing motto. Developing soft skills is a lifelong theme for him. In the topics of leadership, standardisation of procedures, error management or correct prioritisation and communication, he uses the inspiration he has gained during 26 years as a transport pilot - captain and instructor at CSA and Turkish Airlines. Effective teamwork is a big topic for him, as well as HMI. Aviation has been an environment where state-of-the-art technology is put into practice from the very beginning, while addressing its real usability and the limitations imposed by human creativity and approach to daily routines. He is a PhD graduate of the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, with a focus on the psychology of communication. In addition to working as a trainer and mentor for some of our and foreign top companies, he is also currently a lecturer at the Faculty of Transport at the University of Pardubice for the subject of human performance. He is also an instructor and training expert for Air Traffic Control Ltd. and an instructor for flight training - CRM - Crew Resource Management (teamwork).
Increasing digitalization and automation is bringing fundamental changes to the design and functionality of the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) in the cockpit of modern aircraft. This talk focuses on key issues related to technologies that support pilots, influence their decision-making processes and change the way they interact with the aircraft.
During the presentation we will focus on:
The lecture will also look at the latest trends such as the use of touch screens, voice assistants and augmented reality, and reflect on how these technologies are affecting the role of the pilot and the interaction between man and machine. It will also discuss whether increasing levels of automation are improving safety or, conversely, relegating the pilot to the role of 'monitor' and operator, increasing the risk of error in unexpected situations. The role of IT technologies in training and simulation will also be mentioned.
The aim of the lecture is to inspire discussion on how to effectively balance technological advances with the human factor in order to maintain a high level of safety and human autonomy in modern aviation.
