Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and the concept of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) systems are on the way of becoming reality. Closely related, the concept of Simplified Vehicle Operations (SVO) is often discussed as a way of reducing the training required to operate those aircrafts. Currently discussed display configurations of eVTOLs are usually based upon traditional display concepts. However, following the User Centered Design (UCD) and the SVO approach, it is preferable to redesign such display configurations with (future) users in mind. Consequently, it is necessary, to reevaluate the amount and way that information on the current aircraft status is communicated to the pilot. A Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) was conducted to identify a design space for this change in design philosophy in the UAM context. The HTA was based on a generic emergency helicopter mission, in which an emergency doctor has to be transferred to a patient in a remote area. In a second step, the tasks from the HTA were analyzed for necessary adaptions for a future single-pilot operation in the emergency mission context. First guidelines for adaptations are derived.
