Contexto
For example, in an actual upset in flight, the pilot may be floating up against the shoulder harness and seat belt making it difficult for the pilot to apply proper control inputs. Unsecured items may also be flying around the cockpit.
For example, ergonomically optimum displays on the flight deck would, to the greatest extent possible, provide the quantity, type, and form of indicators and signals best suited for the visual performance of the pilot with all his capabilities and limitations.
