Abstract
Amongst the factors that contribute to human errors in man-machine interaction situations is complexity. In commercial aviation in particular, some recent incidents or accidents can be directly related to the inherent complexity of the highly automated systems present on the flight deck. This paper describes some methods for characterizing and measuring the (cognitive) complexity of these situations. Such methods could be used in new, innovative procedures for certifying future flight decks
