Rationale
| Dimension |
Rationale |
| Reliability |
FAA is the authoritative U.S. aviation safety regulator. This is their official framework for aircraft automation. |
| Relevance |
Directly addresses automation bias as a system design concern and specifies information-presentation requirements to suppress it. However, it focuses on cockpit automation rather than AI-generated advisory content. |
| Bias flags |
Government safety regulator. Conservative approach to automation (does not assume full autonomy is desirable). Low risk. |
| Evidence ID |
Summary |
| SRC04-E01 |
FAA specifies that automation bias may be suppressed through equal-salience information presentation and assigns primary responsibility to the user, not the automation |
