HUMAN TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS IN FLIGHT AND GROUND SIMULATION FOR THE ROLL TRACKING TASK.

Abstract

The mathematical description of human pilot dynamic characteristics has been based primarily upon data obtained in constrained ground-based simulator experiments. Whether or not it is valid to extrapolate the use of these descriptions to actual flight is a prevalent question. Reported herein are data which describe the pilot's dynamics in both ground-based simulator and actual flight situations for the constrained situation of a compensatory roll tracking task. Additionally, data are presented for ground-based simulator measurements of pilot dynamics as the pilot controls a simple integrator system and a divergent system. (Author)
