Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 0:
1. A method of adjusting a planned pilot workload before a planned flight, the method comprising:
tracking over a time period, using at least one sensor, inputs by a pilot into an avionic system responsive to a request from a flight control computer during one or more flights of an aircraft prior to the planned flight;
determining a rate at which the inputs by the pilot are made;
determining the pilot workload based upon the rate;
correlating, using a controller that is operatively connected to the at least one sensor, the pilot workload with one or more time periods for analysis;
identifying, using a processor that is operatively connected to a controller, which of the one or more time periods comprise pilot workload above a threshold value based on the analysis; and
adjusting, using a controller that is operatively connected to a flight control computer, the pilot workload for the time periods above the threshold value of pre-planned pilot workload of the planned flight.
