The study examines the assessment discourse of flight examiners in evaluating cockpit performance. It discusses the various ways in which computers are used in modern airplane cockpits, including navigation systems, automatic flight controls, and engine monitoring. The authors suggest that the use of computers has increased the complexity of cockpit tasks and put a greater demand on pilots to manage and interpret the information provided by these systems. The study highlights the importance of understanding how computers are integrated into cockpit operations for effective training and assessment of pilots.
