  1. Describe the implications of these results Link back to the context and need statement Show how this solution closes the gap. Show how it creates a win-win. Design of a Single Cockpit Pilot for Airline Operations Jonathon Graham, Chris Hopkins, SohamTrivedi, Andrew Loeber System Engineering & Operations Research, George Mason University Method of Analysis Context Need Statement & Alternative Con-Ops • A single pilot cockpit is needed to decrease labor expense and mitigate the effects of a pilot shortage • Alternatives: • Single pilot, no changes • All tasks transferred to pilot • Callouts between pilot and copilot removed • Single pilot with procedural support system • Copilot is replaced with automation that is integrated with avionics. • System can give intelligent suggestions to pilot, but no control of plane. • Ground pilot terminal • Copilot is moved to a ground UAV terminal • Handles contact with ATC and other external communications • Could handle multiple flights at once, but needs infrastructure. • Commercial air carriers have experienced poor financial performance in the past decade. • Rising variable costs such as fuel driving operating expense up, While constant labor costs are easier to manage. • Pilot shortage is predicted in the future • With the historical devolution from five pilots to two, is one pilot the next step? State-space showing location of alternatives (TBA) Conclusions & Future Work Results Results Utility vs Cost chart (TBA) Sensitivity analysis (TBA)
