This finding proved to be contrary to information received during flight deck observations, where pilots expressed their concern that not all air traffic controllers were aware of what the crew were required to do to extract information from an FMC/FMGS in response to ATC queries. Pilots reported that sometimes the most difficult queries to answer relate to time/distance/altitude information while at low altitude following takeoff. There is no suggestion that such requests for information are not justified; however, whereas the response from the crew of an older aircraft may be no better than an educated guess (based on the existing performance of the aircraft), the crew of modern aircraft are more likely to rely on the calculations of the FMC. Difficulty may arise when the crew are required to use data outside the programmed flight-planned data. I 9

Aircrew expressed the concern that what once may have been a relatively simple task (such as a change of runway, SID, or STAR) may now be much more complicated. Modern aircraft operate most efficiently when subjected to minimum disruption to ATC clearances (for example, changes to STARS). The intervention service provided by ATC does not seem compatible with the safe and efficient operation of modern automated aircraft. The response to this question highlights the fact that aircraft and airspace/procedures design have not advanced at the same pace.
