Abstract: This paper addresses the applicability of an Adaptive Human-Machine Interface (AHMI) in the modern aircraft cockpit.The basic underlying hypothesis of adaptive interfaces is that different display configurations are more appropriate in particular situations.A well-designed adaptive interface that is able to present the right information in the right format at the right time could help the pilot in establishing and maintaining situation awareness.The main functions of an adaptive interface are a goal/context manager and a display manager, including a subfunction for priorisation of alerts.Different levels of adaptation are illustrated with examples, allocating the different stages of the adaptation process to the human or automation.To be able to help the pilot performing the task, the interface needs to have at least the same knowledge as the pilot.
