A Pilot Intent and Error Recognition module as part of a knowledge based Cockpit Assistant System is presented, which is being developed at the University of the Armed Forces in Munich in cooperation with the Dornier company and implemented in a flight simulator. The system mainly supports the pilot crew with regard to the monitoring and planning task and provides assistance for a number of plan execution functions for the civil flight operation under Instrument Flight Rules. During the whole flight, the Pilot Intent and Error Recognition module monitors pilot activities and the flight status in order to detect deviations from the actual flight plan immediately. In this case, the current flight situation is evaluated, the pilot behavior is analyzed over a certain time period and by use of both pilot intent or error is recognized. Pilot errors lead to warning messages, and recognized pilot intent to a modification of the flight plan. In this paper, a short survey is given of the concept and the function of the Cockpit Assistant System. After that the structure of the Pilot Intent and Error Recognition will be described in detail. At the end, the integration of this module into the Cockpit Assistant System and the evaluation in a flight simulator are presented.
