SCOPE: The objective of this ARP is t
13、o provide a set of user-centered design guidelines for the implementation of data driven electronic aeronautical charts, which dynamically create charts from a database of individual elements. The data driven chart is intended to provide information required to navigate, but it is not intended to su
14、pplant the aircrafts primary navigation display. These guidelines seek to provide a balance between standardization of equipment with similar intended functions and individual manufacturer innovation. This ARP provides guidelines for the display of an electronic chart that can replace existing paper
15、. This document addresses what information is required, when it is required, and how it should be displayed and controlled. This document does not include all the detailed specifications required to generate an electronic aeronautical chart. This document primarily addresses the human factors aspect
16、s of electronic chart display, and does not address the software, hardware or system integrity/availability issues associated with certification of an electronic chart system. During the transition to data driven charts, the guidelines of this document should be applied to interim electronic chart p
17、roducts that may be pre-composed, such as vector or raster based electronic charts. This document is designed primarily for IFR Aeronautical Charts. There is a limited discussion of its applicability to VFR charts. 1.1 Background: Navigation charts have historically been produced as paper products a
18、nd carried by the flight crew from aircraft to aircraft, providing standardization from one aircraft type to another. Early versions of electronic charts have essentially been electronic representations of the paper products and because each operator still tends to use a single supplier, standardiza
19、tion is still provided. It is also vitally important to maintain consistency among database-driven electronic aeronautical charts. As electronic charts move toward becoming more integrated into individual flight decks, the design may become subject to the divergent philosophies of individual manufac
20、turers. In the past, this has resulted in diverse implementations of Electronic Flight Instrument Systems and Flight Management Systems. This document provides a set of guidelines to promote an appropriate level of consistency among manufacturers. SAE ARP5621 - 5 - 1.2 Relation of Electronic to Pape
21、r Aeronautical Charts: The current paper chart products have a long history in the aviation community and have evolved gradually to their current state. Since paper charts and electronic charts will both be used during the transition, it is important that mixed usage does not cause operational confl
22、icts. Therefore, electronic charts should draw on the lessons learned in the development and use of paper charts. Electronic charts should be displayed in a manner that makes their use compatible with paper charts while taking advantage of the capabilities of electronic displays. These advantages in
23、clude clutter reduction, phase of flight configuration, aircraft position overlay, zoom in/zoom out and layering of other useful information (e.g., weather radar and other graphically depicted information). Electronic databases can be rapidly and reliably updated using datalink technology. 1.3 Overv
24、iew: Section 2 - REFERENCES: This contains a list of documents that are applicable to the implementation of these guidelines and other reference publications. Section 3 - DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: This section describes the user centered design philosophies used in developing the design guidelines containe
25、d in Section 4. Section 4 - DESIGN GUIDELINES: This section describes information requirements (temporal and content). It also outlines general rules governing information display and control to achieve an acceptable level of standardization throughout the industry. Section 4.1 - Aeronautical Inform
26、ation Display Elements: An electronic aeronautical chart as described in this document is made up of a set of individual display elements, assumed to be contained in a unique chart file. Section 4.2 - Phase of Flight: defines the phases of flight and their relationship to selected procedures.Section
27、 4.3 - Display Standards: Provides guidance on information grouping, location and display formats to create a standardized look between displays without unduly restricting individual manufacturers innovation. Section 4.4 - Control Standards: Describes the minimum level of standardization required to
28、 achieve a similarity in control between different implementations. This section does not deal with hardware features. Section 4.5 - Chart System: References established guidelines such as those in FAA Advisory Circular 120-76A, for guidance on hardware and software issues. Section 4.6 - Notice to A
29、irmen: Provides information on issues concerning NOTAM applicability and display as it pertains to electronic chart information and its display. SAE ARP5621 - 6 - 1.3 (Continued): Section 5 - CHART GENERATION COMPONENTS: This section describes key components of the overall chart generation process.
30、Section 5.1 - Common Database: There may be numerous databases that contain all the detail information common to all electronic charts. Section 5.2 - Chart File: A unique chart file will define each charted procedure. The chart file in its simplest form is a listing of every display element that com
31、prises an individual electronic chart and the various attributes and rules unique to the chart. Section 5.3 - Display Generation: The display system uses the information in the chart file to render the electronic chart per the guidelines in this document. Section 5.4 - Charting Specifications: An el
32、ectronic chart should comply as closely as possible with existing paper aeronautical charting specifications modified to take advantage of the electronic display medium.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: This section describes the underlying philosophies that are used to establish the design guidelines in Section 4. These philosophies are based on generally accepted design criteria that apply
47、to the task of designing electronic chart displays.The electronic display of aeronautical information must support the needs of the flight crew. Display design must take into account pilot requirements in differing phases of flight, which includes both the planning function and the use of the displa
48、y in executing procedures. 3.1 Workload/Simplicity: The electronic display should limit the number of features and operating modes as much as possible and yet provide the proper flexibility to accommodate the needs of the pilot. Accessing information on an electronic aeronautical chart should be qui
49、cker and easier than using a conventional paper chart. 3.2 Grouping of Information: Information should be organized into meaningful groups of related information. These groupings will assist the flight crew in developing an efficient framework for working with the system. Maintaining these consistent groups across all implementations will enhance the ability to transition from one system to another. SAE ARP5621 - 10 - 3.3 Consistent Placement of Information: Information should be able to be placed in the same location as much as possible. This applies to the placem
