Abstract
Mode awareness has been suggested as a critical factor in safe operations of automated aircraft. This study investigated mode awareness by measuring eye-point-of-gaze of both pilots during simulated commercial flights, while recording call-outs and tracking aircraft performance. Hardly any crew follows manufacturer-or air carrier procedures on mode monitoring and call-outs. However, this does not seem to have a negative effect on flight path or safety. Crews exhibit a proliferation of strategies to keep track of automation status and behavior, with little reliance on the flight mode annunciations of the primary flight display. The data confirms the limitations of current flight mode annunciator designs, and suggest that mode awareness is a more complex phenomenon then what can be captured by measuring EPOG and communication alone.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
