This paper addresses the need for human performance enhancements in relation to growth of air travel and keeping accident
levels low. Performance can be enhanced by certifying equipment with Human factors based methodologies in order to assure
compatibility of systems with human intricacies. Objective eye scan data can be used to facilitate compliance with new Flight
deck certification rules. The intelligence of machines or computers cab be improved by allowing machine access to eye derived
data as illustrated and discussed. With this technology it is possible for computers to become a true COMPANION for its user.
