Despite the extensive literature available on GOMS methods for predicting task performance, there are relatively few hands-on examples of GOMS being used in an applied setting. This proof-of-concept paper will describe the use of CPM-GOMS and NGOMSL, in combination with an existing RAFIV, to evaluate the Boeing 777 autoflight system.
