Abstract
A method for assessing and responding to a level of awareness of a flight crew member onboard an aircraft is provided. The method assesses an eye-scanning behavior of the flight crew member to determine whether the flight crew member is aware of a system-initiated change to a flight parameter; and when the flight crew member is not aware of the system-initiated change, orients the flight crew member to the system-initiated change.
