HANDLING QUALITIES AND PILOT WORK LOAD

Abstract

The paper defines the relationship between handling qualities and pilot stress and workload. The reasons underlying the importance of pilot workload measurement are discussed and ways to analyze or treat pilot vehicle systems are reviewed. The various measures of pilot workload that have been used or considered are discussed and some new data on the possible use of pupil dilation as a measure of stress are presented.
