“…Communications/social issues and certification and approval issues have been acknowledged but neglected. First mentioned are critical to SPO (Lachter et al, 2014) but no dedicated SPO setup has dealt with this issue yet. Whereas the details that are content-related to SPO are discussed in depth in Schmid and Stanton (2019b) we focus on elaborating the contributions of systems thinking approaches and their methodological advantages to SPO research.…”

Systems thinking methods have evolved into a popular toolkit in Human Factors to analyze complex sociotechnical systems at early design stages, such as future airliners’ single pilot operations (SPO). A quantitative re-analysis of studies from a systematic literature review (Schmid & Stanton, 2019b) was conducted to categorically assess their contributions to researching SPO and to fitting their systems thinking methods to contemporary Human Factors problems. Although only 15 of 79 publications applied systems thinking methods to operational, automation, and the pilot incapacitation issue(s) of SPO, these studies provided a comprehensive concept of operations that is able to deal with many issues of future single-piloted airliners. These theoretical models require further evaluation by looking at the empirical instances of system behavior. Finally, the hierarchical structures in system’s development and operations from systems thinking enable Human Factors professionals and researchers to approach SPO systematically.

“…The broader impact of this work relates to the recent concept single pilot operation (SPO) [39] planned with the second pilot on the ground, which is the next challenge in aeronautics R&D. The SPO concept raises additional critical concerns regarding mutual awareness [41][11]. The principle of the Gesture View presented in this paper may enable this issue to be addressed.…”
