Abstract

This experimental study examined the effects of transparency (operationalized as increasing levels of explanation) on pilot trust of an automated emergency landing planner. A low-fidelity study was conducted where commercial pilots (N12) interacted with simulated recommendations from NASA's Emergency Landing Planner (ELP). These recommendations varied in their associated levels of transparency. Results indicated that trust in the ELP was influenced by the level of transparency within the human-machine interface of the ELP.
