A roadmap for assessing human factors influence on pilot performance based on simulated flights

Abstract

© 31st Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2018. All rights reserved.This paper describes the utilization of large amount of data to analyze the performance of pilots under different flight circumstances assessing the influence of human factors like workload and pilot experience. The methodological approach described herein consists of establishing main research questions, defining hypothesis, acquiring and analyzing simulated flight data. Methods include subjective and objective measurements of qualitative and quantitative nature. After declaring the research questions and hypothesis, simulated flights were performed and analyzed. The preliminary results inspired the creation of a roadmap for assessing Human Factors influence on pilot performance based on simulated flights.
