6.1.4-3 Openness of Interaction

Where enhanced coordination is desired between personnel and communication is restricted by the design of the workstations, the group-view display may be used to facilitate open interactions.

Additional Information:
Openness of interaction refers to the degree to which the interactions between team members allow others with relevant information to make contributions. The mode and style of interaction should allow others to see/hear the interaction and provide input (e.g., personnel working on other tasks are not excluded from providing helpful input). For example, if interactions are performed using computer-based communications or audio headsets, other crew members may not be able to observe the interaction and contribute. Where communication can be augmented visually, the group-view displays may be used to enhance the openness of interaction.
