Abstract
This paper examines how modern glass cockpit systems, particularly the Garmin G1000, influence pilot performance through the lens of Endsley’s three-stage situational awareness (SA) model. The analysis is based on the author’s professional experience as a flight instructor and a structured cognitive ergonomics assessment of cockpit interface features that support or hinder situational awareness. The findings highlight both strengths and limitations of glass cockpits, propose concrete training recommendations, and outline future empirical research using NASA-TLX workload assessment.
