Scope
The function of a multifunctional display (MFD) system is to provide the crew access to a variety of data, or combinations of data, used to fly the aircraft, to navigate, to communicate, and to manage aircraft systems. MFDs may also display primary flight information (PFI) as needed to insure continuity of operations. This document sets forth design and operational recommendations concerning the human factors considerations for MFD systems.
The MFD system may contain one or more electronic display devices capable of presenting data in several possible formats. MFDs are designed to depict PFI, navigation, communication, aircraft state, aircraft system management, weather, traffic, and/or other information used by the flight crew for command and control of the aircraft. The information displayed may be combined to make an integrated display or one set of data may simply replace another.
The information contained in this document can be applied to the design of all MFDs, including electronic flight bags (EFB), regardless of aircraft type. This document makes extensive use of “lessons learned” and information developed and currently in use by systems and airframe manufacturers through the evolutionary development of today’s advanced systems.
Some assumptions used in developing this document include:
-
MFDs will incorporate a human-centered design using knowledge gained from previous work and research.
-
This document is intended to apply to new systems or modifications to existing systems.
-
Each function of a MFD is capable of providing accurate and timely information appropriate to the tasks of the flight crew for certain aircraft operations throughout all phases of flight.
-
MFD systems will be based on the aeronautical English language, but other languages may have to be considered.
-
MFD systems will meet international harmonized certification requirements.
-
Use of the information in this document is subject to the certification requirements for a given airplane.
-
The design process should include operator training considerations throughout its development.
-
PFI will be available on the flight deck at all times.
Rationale
The G-10 committee has agreed to stabilize this document as the content has been determined to be basic and stable information not dynamic in nature.

Issuing Committee
The SAE G-10 Aerospace Behavioral Engineering Technology committee focuses on human factors in all facets of aircraft development and operations. It defines appropriate recommendations that could provide cost effective and efficient operation of aircraft (machine) through the use of aerospace behavioral engineering technology. The group is comprised of 18 subcommittees dedicated to creating, preparing, and maintaining all relevant specifications, standards, and requirements for addressing human factors in aircraft development and operation. These subcommittees include:
G-10EAB Executive Advisory Board G-10D Color Displays G-10G Realistic Training G-10H Head-Up Displays G-10HF Human Factors Flight Deck Design G-10J Charting G-10M Vertical Flight G-10T Laser Safety Hazards G-10MFD Multifunction Displays G-10SVS Synthetic Vision Systems Participants in the SAE G-10 committee include OEMs, suppliers, consulting firms, government, academia, and others across the aerospace and defense industries.Reference

listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
