Abstract

The present work describes the interactive prototype and the preliminary evaluation results of a tool dedicated to the light General Aviation pilot’s community. The tool’s interface has been developed through an Android tablet application and aims at supporting the pilots in the task of staying “well-clear” from the surrounding traffic by presenting them the long-term prediction of the flights. The initial results and the approach of a heuristic evaluation conducted with five experts coming from the fields of user-experience, aviation and automotive are discussed along with the improvements in the design of the user-interface focusing on the trajectory depictions.
