In-Depth Information
pilots have to specify more precisely their requirements, collectively agree on them
and then pass to the geographers. This article provides a basis for further research of
the identified problems such as system of data updates, EFBs on CZAF aircraft and
smart legend.
Conclusions
Pilots have a strong opinion about whether paper maps can be replaced by the
digital maps. Most of them believe paper maps cannot be fully replaced by a
digital format. Interestingly, the majority of pilots claim that the combination
of paper and digital charts is would be most ideal for their work. Digital maps
could support a pilot
s work more efficiently in certain missions and situa-
tions. Nevertheless, digital charts often contain some problems such as the
absence of up-to-date information or missing information. For this reason,
pilots prefer to keep the paper map as a backup option and pilots believe the
paper map cannot be removed from the cockpit even if advanced digital maps
are available.
EFBs are already part of CZAF. However further research regarding EFBs
along with an analysis of the current state of the CZAF aircraft equipment is
needed. The idea of improving digital charts by using smart legend was also
well accepted. Our next step will include implementing smart legend into
digital charts and testing its efficiency.
