摘要：	Instrument flight procedures (IFPs) based on RNAV and RNP offer safety enhancements along with new levels of flexibility to negotiate terrain, airspace, and environmental considerations. However, operational implementation of performance-based IFPs does not always go smoothly. We gathered input on subjective factors related to IFP and chart complexity by interviewing 45 professional line pilots from major and regional airlines, corporate operators, and an air taxi operator. We observed groups of 2 or 3 pilots (from the same operator, flying the same aircraft) review and brief IFPs as they would normally do, then discussed the IFPs in detail to identify areas of potential confusion about either the IFP or the chart. The primary goal of the study was to identify subjective factors in IFP complexity. The secondary goal was to understand how pilots use charts today, especially for arrivals and departures. Results identified a broad range of issues including IFP design, issues related to both IFP design and charting, and issues that are outside the scope of the IFP design per se, such as crew and operator factors, the use of aircraft automated systems to fly PBN IFPs, and interactions with Air Traffic Control.
