N2 - The purpose of human-machine systems design is to develop interfaces and automation tools which support human operators in performing effective, efficient and safe work. An important prerequisite for the latter is that operators understand the process under control, are aware of what is happening, and have sufficient means to act on the process appropriately. In this chapter, which is an extension of our CHIRA’2017 paper [1], we discuss the ecological approach we adopted to design human-machine systems in aviation. We focus in particular on what, in our opinion, operator situation awareness actually means, and how to improve it. The aircraft separation task will be discussed, using two examples which show how novel visualizations and tools can support pilots and air traffic controllers in their decision making.
