From the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 study , Kathy Abbott of the Federal Aviation Administration stated that " the data suggests that the highly integrated nature of current flight decks and additional add-on features have increased flight crew knowledge and introduced complexity that sometimes results in pilot confusion and errors during flight deck operation . " U.S. investigators instructed the manufactures to fix Boeing 777 's complex control systems because pilots " no longer fully understand " how aircraft systems works . As technology advances , more and more new instruments are put into the cockpit panel . As these increase , cognitive demands also increase , and pilots are becoming distracted from their primary tasks . Although having various types of information enhances situation awareness , it also overloads sensory channels . Since human 's cognitive loads are limited , information overloads only increase the risk of flight accidents . Pilots have more difficulty perceiving and processing the data when information are overwhelming
